From what I've read, the focus fans don't turn on until 225F...if at all. These cars have weird electronics for the cooling fans and the resistors (or whatever they are) that are mounted to the fan shroud tend to melt and render the fans useless. Still haven't checked mine for proper function since it's been a cold winter.

How do you like the poly dog bone? Been thinking about getting one so the engine doesn't move as much while bump starting but am worried about idle vibrations.
