Hi.. I have a 1998 1.6 escort finesse. Never had a problem with overheating . The temp gauge on the dashboard has always stayed between zero & about 30%. In the past few days I noticed it go to about 50%. Never seen it that high before , but still well within the normal range. Driving home tonight I noticed it was back up to 50% then a couple of minutes later it had dropped back down to zero and it has stayed there ever since. Whats the likely cause? a sensor that needs replacing ? Could it be something I could try swapping myself before I have to take it to a garage?
