HELP.
Flaming car! The old cooling fan has just broken as it was constantly running. I replaced the coolant (air locks, bad coolant), flused the system and radiator and whats very strange is that the temp gauge never shows any overheating. I have just replaced the cooling fan and keeps doing it. From reading the other posts I am confussed as what it could be now. I unplugged the new fan and drive without it and the car doesnt overheat. Therefore I believe it to be electrical or sensor rather than mechanical.
I think it might be the water temp sensor but the temp gauge never shows it overheating. Is this normal? Therefore it might be the relays but the fan only turns on constantly once the engine gets to temperature. It doesnt come on at the first turn of the key. I rather dabble with it myself than paying a fortune for a garage to say its either ecu or head gasket. It just seems to me that once the temp gets to a certain level the fan always runs.
