The fiesta was making the hearbeat sound that normally means the HCV is on its way out, so being pre-emptive for once i changed it before it went. It was still blowing hot/cold as needed.
Anyway, changed it on sat, as per my guide, and it seemed to be working ok. It was still making the clunk noise, i opened the bonnet and touch the hcv and i could feel it pump every 5 seconds or so. This woprried me as it was a brand new unit but it was working ok.
Yesterday we went for a drive in it and it was stuck on hot. The temp gauge remained steady at under the half way mark, which is where it normally sits.
Sigh. Any ideas? My one theory is the electrical connector to the hcv got coolant on it, and has shorted out a fuse, but would that explain it?
