hi......
again my 1.6 elx problem....(petrol/auto tran.)

problem with high engine temp when air cond. is on.

if no air cond. the temp.gauge only a scale before the middle. even the car is stopped for 30 minutes.
the fan for radiator is automatically on/off to control the temp.

but.......

when air cond. is on the temp. gauge goes up to almost to the red zone.
and hover around this area ( middle and just before red zone).
especially when driving around less than 40 to 50 kmh and to red zone when stopped.
the fan for radiator is auto. on/off at this condition.

as the radiator and air cond. condensor sharing the fan, which one is controlling the fan to on and off?

another problem...........
my left front shockabsorber sound silly when hitting bumpspeed.
already change linkrod, absorber and mounting , tie rod end.
the problem still there..........
should i change the antiroll bar........?????? can i ?

HI,
Sorry not sure about the ac problem, never had an ac car myself.

The biggest problem with the front suspension is the drop links and bushes, strange that you have changed then with no effect. Have you checked the wishbone and rubbers?
You can change the anti-roll bar fairly easily, but unless its bent it shouldn't cause any problems if the bushes are new. Try checking the mounting brackets for damage or being loose.
The only other thing I can think of is a faulty spring, but they tend to get terminal fairly quick if cracked.
Let us know how you get on.
