Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to access the diagnostic menu of a MK7 Ford Fiesta to access codes and features such as coolant temperature (as there's no guage on the dash for it) and RPM, MPH, KPH digital readouts.

    just here to add - you mentioned it was normal for coolant to hover around 80-85, however if you see it go up a bit don't freak out, it just means the AC is off, meaning the fan is off. However, my fan kicks on at 99 and shuts off at about 95 (when idling) so if yours doesn't maybe it should be checked out. just thought i'd add that!

    Just done the test. I've been having problems in cold weather like 2 or 3 degrees c and my temp gauge only coming upto 3 blocks and not 4 in the middle where it should be. So had a drive around and it's about 5 or 6 degrees outside and it's reading 72 degrees c fluctuating between 70 and 76 if I gun it. Do you guys think this is OK or should I look at getting my thermostat changed??

    Hello, noticed while you were doing the LCD test that a cruise control symbol appeared on the MPG/Odometer screen. Is there anyway to activate this while the cruise control is set? So you have cruise control speed output on the LCD screen
