How to Check the Water Temperature on the Ford Fiesta VI

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Instrument cluster

The dashboard of the Ford Fiesta VI does not display the water temperature. However, this does not mean it cannot be accessed. There is a way to view it through a secret menu. Here’s how to display it. Press and hold the button/dial located under the rev counter, then turn on the ignition until the display shows "test". Now you can start the engine. You may now release the button. With the vehicle running, use the same button to scroll through the menu until you reach the water temperature.
