fans stop as car warms up

[ftogpxstripes]

hey guys l recently bought my first car so l didnt know rlly what to look for ( didnt know what was wrong with car or just couldnt spot it ) and ive noticed today that when l turn the car on the fans that cool the car work fine but as the car warms up a little they just cut out and dont start again. im not sure what to do, any help would be seriously appreciated cheers

does it overheat?

[ftogpxstripes]

the fan or the car ? the car engine gets to a certain temperature which is quite hot hot enough to burn your hand minor

[dstocks]

The fans will cut in and out when they need to (they are not meant to run all the time). Unless your car is overheating, assume they know what they are doing......

Welcome to the club BTW

Your temperature gauge! does it stay at the normal operating temp the hole time while driving or does it overheat? if it doesnt overheat then dont worry about the fans lol

Small oil leak for 1k!?
WTF
I hope some asshole mechanic didnt charge you 1k for a rocker cover gasket...
Any leak in the car for 1k is a ripoff...

lol well the leak is in the sump the pervious owner ( since cars been lowered) drove to fast and it hit the group and cause if that there is a small leak. its not much like in 2 months ive only had to top it up bout 300ml and ive driven like 3000kms or so already . the things that he said where wrong with the car were :
remove wet manifold
replace rocket cover gaskets
remove sump
repair and reseal it
replace side plug
engine oil fitter

thats what the mechanic wrote down on a paper and gave it to me. l havent done it yet mainly because l just dont have the money to do it yet since im still only in school :/

[Taz]

LOL.

All of that is like 500 max bro theyre all piss easy jobs - unless he did a lot more off paper thats pretty bad, but ah well, its all fixed now - just dont go back there

Theres a few club members in sydney that can do that work bro, probably minus the side plug depending on whats wrong with it, but can absorb most of that bill at the cost of a carton or two surely - now lets hear some NSW volunteers
