Hey guys...

Anyone got any idea's here....

this is how it goes...., the other night was in a carpark and had my car idling cause I was playing with the stereo didn't wanna kill it, then I looked at my temp gauge and seen it was almost on the H, had a look and the bigger of the 2 thermo fans had completley snaped off, killed the fuseable link, and a relay....

So I replaced the fuseable link, and relay and got a new fan.... now the fans won't come on unless a/c is on and car is over heating.... any idea's? I was told I could of possible killed the temp sensor...

That's probably what's happened. I had to replace mine not that long ago. From memory they're pretty cheap. If you have the workshop manual and a multimeter you could easily check the resistance just to make sure though.

yeah you posted in the thread about my sisters ks; her thermofans stopped working (auto electrical problem) and broke causing radiator hose to go boom; so yeah make sure its ok; she was lucky no bigger damage occured.

Haha still shagged, heater hose is gone somewhere, and alot of people are telling me to replace my temp sender sensor....

ahh well ya get that in a 10yo / 265,000km old car eh...

There are 2 relays for the fans, one will control the temp activation, the other will ensure the fans are on when the aircon is on,

relays are a very common problem in the second gen, i have seen new ones last barely days. Use the ones of the first gen, they last a lot longer

kk, well I fixed it, thermsotate was shagged, and I had air in my cooling system, all good now :)

i thought it would be the thermostat, i just read through and i was wondering why no one said anything about it, o well its all good now (no-one ask why i didnt say thermostat because i wasnt on then).

Yeah right, "fan snpped off etc etc" and you thought it was the thermostat.

IF a fan is not coming on it is not the thermostat if the car is getting hot:nuts:

i missed read the beginning, my bad, i focused on overheating
