2.0 petrol running hot ?

yes... proper ford antifreeze ...... just bought a 3 pod cluster with water temp, oil pressure and rev counter .... propernice hi tech things ......... might as well make the most of these problems ......

bit the bullit and bought this with another 2 clocks for oil pressure and rev counter in a nice 3 clock pod .......... yes put antifreeze in ..... wont run anything without it .....

Hmmn,seems like you might need to get a manual sensor clamped to a pipe to test just to make sure of the temp.

hopefully these gauges are gonna be accurate ... done 200 miles in van this weekend with temp gauge way past red and bin running fine with no signs of getting too hot ... thermostat starts to open when gauge just at bottom of red so def think its the gauge at fault ..... proper frightening driving with it showing that high
