Ford Fiesta 2001 engine part

[Leeboy0782]

Damaged part on the Ford Fiesta that is stopping the water from pumping through to cool the engine.

I have no idea what the part is or where to start looking.



Hopefully the photo's can help with identification. I can take a different picture if these don't help

Would appreciate any help that can be given.

Thanks

Is that the firewall grommet/fixing plate etc for the heater's coolant piping?

Heater Control Valve, common part to fail.

If you set the heater to hot it should pump through, it fails where it doesn't redirect the coolant when it's set to cold.

Of course this will make the inside of your car unbearable in the recent heat we've been having, but will stop the car overheating!

When the engine gets hot, the coolant is trying to pump through. The pipe should be attached to that plate to allow the coolant through and cool it down, but it's just leaking out.
The Pipe with the L on it, it secure. The other pipe has come away with the plastic that it attaches to.
