| Post subject: | Fiesta Si, Rad, Hose and thermostat questions |
Hi all, have some questings regarding the 1.6 si mk3.5 i still have. i went to ford asking for a new thermostat the one they showed me is stamped 92c, the original one i have is 88c. i checked with ford parts uk who also said the old 88c part has been superceeded by the new 92c part. so is the 92c stat safe to use? or should i look into getting a pattern part which is considerably cheaper and is 88c but probably a bit flakey on quality? also are there options for upgraded radiators for these cars? i dont get overheating issues but in traffic the temps gets up to the N and then the fan kicks in, was hoping get a better rad so less heat build up in traffic. also regarding the Radiator top hose, mine looks like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fiesta-M ... 5b0e686905 now i could order the above one in the link but was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to get a better quality silicone one or something? thanks. |

Bridge the two fan wires with some cable and a switch. You can manually override the fan then. In traffic etc. Put it in the dash somewhere |
