Hi all,

Just picked up my new car today, a 07 plate 1.6 petrol focus.

I drove it in mixed traffic, a roads and motorways for about 30 miles and the temperature gauge didn't reach the mid-point. It sat consistently at about 80% of the mid-point.

The coolant levels are fine, the car ran well, the radiator was hot at the end of the journey and the car warmed up quickly.

Is this likely to be an issue? I was thinking thermostat but it warmed up really quickly and the gauge position was consistent.

Cheers!
