Now this makes mew curious, 2 weeks ago I blew the upper rad hose. The next weekend I blew the return heater core hose right underneath Said upper hose. Long story short I finally have the system bleed of air and all and it is now running in the A range. It used to be in the m to low a range. Your mod there drops your temprature that much? If so have you noticed a difference in gas mileage. Reason I ask is the hotter the day outside or the hotter my little Zetec is running the better the mileage I get. i.e my last little road trip got me 450miles with still another 50 miles worth of gas left in the tank. It was running in the A. Previous best for similar air temprature and mileage would be about 50 miles less. Question that remains to me is does the Zetec run extra hot on purpose in an effort to get better mileage?
