while scoff and matt where going over my engine i noticed that the rad fan didnt kick in by itself and had to be bridged for it to work.
the rad fan switch thats in situ is brand new and is a normal temp switch.
firstly, is there anyway of checking the actual switch is faulty.?
just to add, my cooling system is shortened and ive done away with the swirlpot, my thermostat [brand new oe temp] has been drilled [3mm hole] to aid bleeding. my water temp sensor is also new. my rad is bigger than a std gtt one too.
any ideas why my rad fan isnt kicking in..? my temparature kept creeping up until the needle was nearly vertical..!!!! i cant see there being any air in the system either as the header tank is relocated to behind the scuttle so its the highest point and air would route itself to there would it not.?
anyway, im thinking of buying a low temp rad fan switch but i refuse to pay the stupendous price what cgb (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-5-GT-TURBO-LOW-TEMPERATURE-FAN-SWITCH-78-65-DEG_W0QQitemZ160248663253QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Car sParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item160248663253&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318) is asking for them:sad2:
no does anyone know where i could get a low temp radfan switch for a reasonable price.?
