Adz The Rat 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Mine usually sat at just over the 70 mark on the temp gauge, rose to about 100 when sat in traffic for ages. Since Saturday its now started running about 90-95 under normal driving and when sat about in Blackpool it rose to 110, I then put heaters on full and could hear the fan working so the temp dropped. What is normal temp for these engines?? Also, is there a way to get the fan to kick in lower and stay on for longer? Mine only stays on for a few seconds at a time and isnt enough really Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted September 15, 2008 110 is a bit high, any more and you'll start to do some damage. search for the 'defintive cooling' thread, but mayhap a temp sender has gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adz The Rat 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Great, very helpful thank you and takes a bit off my mind!! Is there a way to get fans to kick in at a lower temp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted September 16, 2008 The fans should kick in at ~92-94 degrees. If they don't you have a faulty fan control sensor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
