When does the Ford Fiesta cooling fan come on?
It will only normally come on when the temperature is well in excess of normal. Unless you are sitting in a traffic jam for say 15 minutes it won’t get hot enough. In normal driving the airflow through the radiator is adequate to keep it cool
What causes the head gasket to blow on a Ford Fiesta?
The head gasket seperates not just the oil from the water jacket but the water jacket (coolant system) from the combustion chamber – its possible the coolant system is being pressurised – its a common misconseption that there will be oil in the water or vice versa for the head gasket to be blown
Why is my radiator not working on my Ford Fiesta?
The heater not working is likely due to a lack of water in the system. When talking about the radiator hoses it’s important to differentiate between the top and bottom. Assuming you’re talking about the top hose, it is meant to be hot.

Why is the coolant sensor on my Ford Fiesta flapping?
Then coolant is flowing through the engine (or the coolant sensor is flapped) but the most likely cause is either a seized thermostat (seized close) Go buy a new one and replace it, easy job and cheap part ($20 worse case). If that doesn’t do it I’d be looking at a flapped waterpump (which is alot more annoying)
