virden Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 For over ten years I have had the fan thermocouple switch located in the top of the radiator and the temp gauge bulb in the tower above the thermostat. I have been told by an engine builder that the two are the wrong way around. Is he right? Does anyone have a picture of a pressured cooling system fitted to a X/F with a heater?

DaveMorris Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Virden, yours are exactly where I have mine on current x-flow and on 3 previous engines. Their positions make perfect sense to me based on what function they are performing, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncm Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I would have thought that the temperature sensor should be in the cylinder head in the hole provided by Ford.1990 manual shows it in this position and the fan switch in the ally thermostat tower.Brian.edited to add:- there is no provision on my radiator to fit any sensors...

ncm Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hi Jonathan, I've just tried to send a pm but your mail box is full. To answer your question Windows 10 (updated a few days ago) and Microsoft Edge.I cannot see the pdf that I have apparently posted!Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 13, 2019 Member Share Posted August 13, 2019 There's a reference to a similar problem with a possible explanation.Could you try some other browsers and see if the pdfs show inline?Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncm Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I've tried internet explorer and all I get is a box with a cross through it ( more than edge shows!), so we tried a mobile phone and get a small box that we cannot open up to show the pdf's.Brian.Looks like I can post pictures though.
