Re: Overheating :((
If the fan is still coming on when you turn the A/C on, it wont be the fan. Sounds electrical, like a solenoid or relay...

Geeze people if both fans turn on at any time they are fine. If you are at speed the termos does sh*t anyway.
You have a blockage problem if your hard heats up when at speed. Your radiator is blocked or your thermostat is stuck closed.
Pull the thermostat out and reverse flush your radiator and I the problem should go away hopefully!!!

Tape your missus to the front of the car, cut a window in your bonnet and get her to gently fan your engine as you drive.

Re: Overheating :((
hahaha you gave me a laugh... gotta have a MRS to do that Lol So just got back from Race and Track services Cavan ( Adelaide ) turns out it is the bloody gauge, they were testing it and when it was recording 3/4 on the temp gauge it was hitting around 80c which actually is well below half-way so my temp gauge is errattic and i have that booked in for Wednesday next week to get recalibrated!! See if that was the issue.. To be continued.. Cheers all for your input was very helpful

Nah, beg to differ here, one fan is for the radiator and one is for the aircon.Bennoz wrote:If the fan is still coming on when you turn the A/C on, it wont be the fan. Sounds electrical, like a solenoid or relay...
