Hi all,
Being a Pug diesel convert for a number of years, I recently bought the wife an 07 Focus diesel to replace the Terry. A very nice car I have to say and one that I occasionally drive to work on my night shifts. Here in lies the problem. Last week it was -3 and -2 degrees at 7.00 am after each of my shifts and I have to say the heater in the car is bloody hopeless. I shouldn't blame the heater as the engine itself seems to take ages to warm up. Is this normal for these engines? It runs around 90 degrees (just under) once warmed up but compared to my old 405 Pug (this thing makes heat inside 2 k's), its just too uncomfortable to drive the 12 km trip home in such cool conditions. Any ideas? Normally I would change the thermostat but I thought I might ask others first to see what the general consensus is with these things. Cheers. |
