Seems odd the gauge red line isn't set for safety though, I would've assumed it was fine until the red, as with RPM.
Coolant temp in the Focus also sits at a solid 83 while driving after hitting 85 and the stat opening. I've never seen it hit 90 on diags even in traffic, fans come on about 88c.
Presactly - just use the correct thermostat and it'll run at the correct temperature.
I've never seen motorfactor ones be any good, they're always shite and usually jam after 30 seconds or just don't work from day one. Get a genuine PSA one.
Look how nice I am. Notice what it says on it, 83 Degrees, no other superseded parts, it's always been an 83*C thermostat.
