Firstly, I have problems with hot starting that are bugging me. I recently got a new battery because my old one couldnt sustain the length of time I need the crank the car.
My new battery was gradually getting weaker every morning to the point it woulnt turn over and I came to the concolusion that the perc fan was draining the power when I pulled up in the evening and when I went back to start in the morning it was drained.
I beleive its the bearings and as this is probably draining more power than needed by the extra friction its also not providing the RPM to actually cool down as quickly. Therefore, staying on for longer. I have it unplugged at the mo and its great for cold starting.
I am keeping the car original and do beleive the perc fan helps with hot starting so...
What is out there on the market for replacing the perc fan?. Do I go original from renault or are one of the uprated ones good?.
I do use my car everyday so need to be reliable and i'm willing to buy gen parts to do that. I'm also concerned about the battery life and thinking of wiring up a second new battery.
I can imagine taking it for MOT and the guy jumps in to start it and runs the battery flat LOL
Any thoughts appreciated, I know it might be a no brainer but its a common problem and some of you must have found a solution
Thanks
