Hello,

yesterday I noticed that water temp went higher than it uselly does and I stoped the car. The fan didnt kick in, so I was thinking the rad fan switch is the problem, but it works fine. Could it be something else or is it the fan?

Thanks!

Probably the relay mate. They are prone to getting wet!

Open the Bonnet
Stand by the Drivers Side wing
Peer into the engine bay in the gap between the Alternator and the front of the engine bay
The Rad Fan Relay should be there somewhere :niceone:

It was the rusty connector on the fan...

Thanks!

Just a heads up, if anyone has a problem and it turns out the relay is goosed, you can use the relays from the Clio/Clio16v loom as there are three identical relays, all the same i think.

Used one on my GTT and it works perfectly.
