[Quantum Owners] Thermostat housing
Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone can help point me in the right direction with the thermostat housing, my old 1800 Zetec housing broke around the temperature sensor port when I was trying to change the sensor, I’ve been unable to find the same type with screw in sensors but there’s plenty with push in sensors that would fit. Question is which push in sensors would be compatible, many thanks Bill Sent from my iPhone -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat
Don't forget there are a range of different coloured fan switches that switch at different temperatures. They are used on other Fords where the switches are in the pipes or radiator instead of the stat housing. From memory they are Black, Brown, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue. Roughly in descending temperature order. Look on the Mk3 Fiestas, CVH petrol, Zetec petrol and Diesel and also Mk5 and Mk6 Escorts. Some are mounted on the radiator and some in a boss on the top hose. Don't bother looking on later cars or Mondeos, they switch the fan on from the ecu temperature sensor.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat
Thanks for the tips and ideas, I used to have a manual over ride but haven’t put that back on since I changed the wiring and fitted a couple of relays into the fan circuit after frying a couple of fan switches due to it being wired direct inline with the fan.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat
Thanks All, As thermostats are very basic engineering I wonder what the failure is? Possibly just poor quality material in the manufacture? I did boil up the old one in a pan in the classic way and checked its movement. It did move fully but at a lower temperature than it should, it was not seized or stuck open all the time. I notice the Coupe one is getting a bit lazy now..!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat
I've had similar experience with genuine Ford thermostats and pattern ones. Quinton Hazell parts are a lottery now it seems, as QH went into liquidation several years ago and (as I understand it) the various 'sectors' were sold to the highest bidders, so the brand means very little now. Also in the belief that QH was a quality item (it used to be) I bought some track control arms for the Rickman (Escort mk2 parts) One lasted about 2k miles until the rubber bush was kaput (I replaced that part) and then the ball joint had excessive play (it really was bad!) in a further 1.5k miles, so just 3.5k total miles! In contrast the other side (which I 'bought' attached to the car) had play (but a lot less) and had done over 40 miles in my ownership, so maybe many more. I replaced with 'First Line' parts, which were the only ones available to me - we'll see how they last. The guy at my MOTstation said it's not uncommon for new parts to fail very quickly.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat or Not?
Okay. Very weird. I just checked the water and it was bone dry inside. I've filled it up and it slowly went down, probably going into the pipes etc. There's no leak as I had the car sitting there for 5 minutes and then moved the car, nothing under it. I supppse the water will continue to go down until there's water in the whole system? It went in for a service a couple weeks ago! I'll phone him up later. The thermostat went up but not to where it normally sits. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat or Not?
Since you will loose some coolant changing the stat, take off the 2 hoses that go to the heater and stick the garden hose on the heater pipes to flush it out, do both pipes a couple of times. Might help the heater. Or, it could be a pattern heater matrix which don't seem to work as well. Or the foam perished on the flaps inside the heater so there is always some cold air getting past.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat or Not?
Assuming it's not just low on water. Which pipes are hot ? The hoses to the rad should not get hot until the stat has opened so if they are getting warm soon after the engine has been started then the stat is stuck open, this is the most common failure mode for Zetec stats and i've had some pattern ones last less than a year. Another possibility is an airlock. Take the small pipe off the stat housing that goes to the reservoir and make sure you can blow through it. Also check the hole in the stat housing is clear where that pipe goes on. This is the pipe that air bleeds out of the system so if it's blocked air can build up in the head.

[Quantum Owners] Thermostat Housing
Different question this one. I am planning to put a turbo on my Xtreme this winter and one of the issues is the thermostat housing cover. My Zetec cover is a straightforward domed cover with two holes drilled at 180 degress for the bolts and threaded for the fan stat. The engine is fitted from a Raceline water rail supplied by Q. To fit the turbo I need to have the top hose outlet at 90 deg to the current position ie facing forward. My next step is to scour the local scrappy to see if I can find similar. The question is does anyone know if the housing covers with two bolt holes at 180 deg are a standard size and spacing. I can remove it and measure to compare, but it woulod be helpful if they were standard. I will try to attach a photo on the photos page, but have never succeeded on this before. Thanks Nigel PS I have tried contacting Raceline but no help so far. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat Housing
That sort of stat housing used to be fairly standard on older engines but nowadays the stat housing is much more multifunction with many more pipes coming of and quite of often a change over stat tahter than a normal one. Actually that's interesting as that engine would normally have a change stat with a bypass circuit. Jim On 13/11/2011 08:56, nigelp wrote: Different question this one.

To fit the turbo I need to have the top hose outlet at 90 deg to the current position ie facing forward. My next step is to scour the local scrappy to see if I can find similar. The question is does anyone know if the housing covers with two bolt holes at 180 deg are a standard size and spacing. I can remove it and measure to compare, but it woulod be helpful if they were standard. I will try to attach a photo on the photos page, but have never succeeded on this before. Thanks Nigel PS I have tried contacting Raceline but no help so far. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Thermostat Housing
Might be easier just just take that cap to a local engineering company, get the top cut off and then re-welded 90 degrees round. Jim On 13/11/2011 08:56, nigelp wrote: Different question this one. I am planning to put a turbo on my Xtreme this winter and one of the issues is the thermostat housing cover. My Zetec cover is a straightforward domed cover with two holes drilled at 180 degress for the bolts and threaded for the fan stat. The engine is fitted from a Raceline water rail supplied by Q.
