Hi
We recently bought a 1997 1.7 Puma and have noticed that the engine temperature guauge hardly moves even after a long journey on a hot day. It always stays at cold and never reaches normal, although it does move very slightly. Also notice that there is no heat output whatsoever from the heater even when set on the hottest setting. Other than this it seems to run fine.
I am thinking it could be the thermomstat either missing or stuck open and was going to have a go at replacing it but before I do, does anyone have any other suggestions or things to try?
I don't really have much of a clue I'm afraid!
Any help and advice very gratefully received.
Thanks
Darren
