joebrent 0 Posted October 8, 2003 I went to my mechanic to get my cam belt changed. when the ignition is turned on a belt comes on, the mechanic reckons this shouldnt happen and means that the car will take a while to warm up. Should a belt come on when the ignition is turned? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should a belt come on when the ignition is turned? i take it you mean bell :?: (like a buzzer)if so it s the low oil pressure buzzer.......you've either got low-oil pressure or its a faulty switch(could have been disturbed when you got the timing belt changed or its just given up the ghost) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebrent 0 Posted October 9, 2003 sorry if the original post was confusing! Basically when i just turn the ignition on a fan comes on, my mechanic reckons this isnt normal, does this happen on corrados?? he said that it wont cause damage to the engine but it means that it will take longer to warm up??

VR6 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Does he mean the radiator fan comes on straight away from cold meaing that the engine won't warm up as quickly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted October 9, 2003 Replace the fan switch on the rad that should solve the problem :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebrent 0 Posted October 10, 2003 yeah he told me to replace the fan switch, if i dont does it matter?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted October 10, 2003 If you don't the fan will stay on all the time,the engine will never get up to temperature especially in winter time !! :x-mas: The fan could burn out being on constantly. For a 2 minute job and the switch costing about 10 pounds ish !! You do the math :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corvr6 0 Posted October 10, 2003 I have just had to replace my cooling fan due to bearings. :( A used fan will cost approx £70-£100,(new+£300). :mad: Fitting cost me £50(2 hours of a mechanics time,not an easy job.) :shock: You do not want to be changing the fan in a hurry!!! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
