The fan appears to be doing it's thing so now I'm down to either a clogged radiator or bad water pump. Do the Zetecs have impeller issues like the Duretecs ? Is there anything I'm overlooking ?



Well mine reads high, several shops have said it is running fine though. Like mine wiil run in ML, then A/C brings it back to R, A/C off goes back to ML. So I guess the gauage is just a piece of junk.

Ours dont have the water pump problem, many people have over 100k and have the original pump. You will be lucky to find a Duratech with 70k and the original pump.
