Hey guys,
Have a few issues here, the fans do not come on.
I do however have a bit of a leak in the system, and a new rad is on order, But is the fact it wont hold pressure the cause for the fans to not come on?
Btw shes a
year 2000
2.0l Cabriolet
Tony.
is there a fan switch on the rad??? if so take the wire out and put a wire across both wire. if that works replace the fan switch.
sweet, will try that asap.
:embarrassed:
I have not had chance to yet, been so hectic here. i am hoping tomorrow is the day my new rad is here, if it arrives, i will be working on the car, so i will double check then
Assuming it has AC (does a cabby need ac!?) there will be 3 sensors on the stat housing. Unplugging one of these (can't remember which off top of my head, someone else will) should bring the fans on as a failsafe.
If anything, a leak should bring the fans on more! So I will guess that you have another fault...
If the sensor is in am air pocket it won't read the true temperature
Well, i have now fitted my new radiator,
EIS Radiator from Eurocar parts, she now holds a steady 70c
she was sat there for 20 mins at that temp. so im happy there.
The fans Do work, as i unpluged the middle plug, and they both came on. and yes, it does have aircon. but it does not get cold. so i think the system needs a re-charge.
So, because i have air-con, how do i go about making sure the system is ok. or is it something i will have to just wait and see on?
Tony.
have the system vacuum tested, if it holds, get it charged with a leak detecting dye, off you go.
it wont affect the operation of the fans insofar as they will still cool the engine sufficiently, but they do operate differently when the AC is on.
thanks for the reply.
I will look into getting the system checked asap.
Tony.
