Hello, i have a mk6 ford escort lx 1.4 (s reg) When i turn on the ignition, even when the engine is cold,the temperature gauge goes right up to the red mark. When i turn it off it goes back down again. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks, Regards Micky...

sound like the temp guage sender is kaput
Try pulling the single wire from the temp.sender switch and earth it with the ignition turned on.The gauge should go up into the red (max),unearth it and it should fall to zero,if so, change the sender switch
