Fan coming on even after only a short run

Hi guys.

I have a B18ft 5GTT. I find that after doing a short run in it - around 15mins - the fan comes on. Is this normal? This morning's run has invloved sitting briefly at junctions/lights etc, then little bursts down long roads so assuming that's not too bad. Temp guage just over half way too. Also, fan turns off a couple of mins after engine's off.

Cheers.

sounds about right to me sir:agree:

Phew :)

Yep. It is warm :)

The B18FT engine runs alittle warmer than the C1J so if you are using a 5 fan switch the fan will come on more often, is its a low temp one it'll be on a fair bit

Fan runs its own power feed from a perminant live so it will still run once the engine is off and the rad is still warm, will turn off once the water temp drops in the rad

Awesome, cheers guys.
