Dear all,
I own a MK3 fiesta (1995) 1.1. Regardless of how hard I drive the rattly littly thing I cannot get the temperature guage to move into the normal range. It will occasionally get warm if its sits and idles for ten mins! It has done this for as long as i can remember (I have had it for just over 2 years) and I am now fed up with being cold on the way to work.
In addition I suspect this temperature issue is the cause of over revving whenever I depress the clutch (there is even a small amount of power when I take my foot of the accelerator in gear). The ECU/auto choke is trying to warm the engine I guess, just wasting my petrol!
If anyone can offer some advice or a solution it would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Ben
