Default WS Fiesta - Temperature

Hi All,

After an opinion on the running temperature of my WS Fiesta. I understand the temperature indication is for outside air temperature but I find it a decent indication of engine temps.

In a Brisbane summer, parked at the lights the with the aircon running the temperature will usually reach a maximum of 34C, even on the hottest days. Lately, it has been reaching 38C on days that are only 25-28C. Once I start moving again it quickly drops back down to 28C or so. It counts up to 38C at a rate of 1C per minute or so.

Little bit concerned that it would be running so hot considering summer hasn't even hit yet.

Any ideas? (the coolant level is fine by the way)

Cheers
