Technical Operating temp of 1996 1.9TD engine

[ronowens]

Hi,
Does anybody know at what temp should the radiator fan come on? My engine reaches 90 degrees wit normal driving and if under pressure, will come close to 100. If will go back down to 90 and even to 80 if you drive trough a town.

I 'm taking it to France soon and with the warmed temp, I don't want to run into overheating problems!

Thanks

Ron

If your temp gauge accurate I think you should fit new thermostat and flush radiator if any signs it's blocked.
