Thermostat stuck open?

Postby Matttjuk » Sat Sep 10, 2022 5:14 pm

I noticed on my '14 plate Tourneo custom 2.2 that while doing a forced regen, the coolant temp (ect) struggled to get up to minimum 80deg, hovered around late 70's until I stuck a blanket over the front then went up to mid 80's.

Looking like the thermostat so easy enough to change? Had a look earlier at looks pretty simple.

Cheers

I didn’t fit mine it was in for add blue problems at Ford dealership in Ireland when I was on holiday they wanted to try a thermostat and if it wasn’t the problem of not doing a forced regen they said they would remove it I told them fit it at £28 it’s not worth removing it so it must be a simple job
