At the end of last month the thermostat failed in my 200tdi Ninety. Failed in closed position so things soon got warm. My aftermarket temperature gauge that reads in numbers degrees gave good indication of the problem. Running my heater flat out got me to a spot where I was able to remove the thermostat and then get home.
No complaints about that one as had worked for years. Replacement [cheapy] was a dud [ failed boiling water test] so bought a "Quality" so the seller quoted [a well known large car parts company ] and it has lasted just three days!!
Complaint gone in.
I have noted in other posts about poor quality parts.
My car a Focus has also had issues with a failed replacement driveshaft after just 2000ish k and brake caliper at less than 2 years.
