it really is doing my head in lol

i brought it last week and 2days after i bought it the following happened

right, first of all the bottom rad pipe split, so i changed it, the same day i noticed the water pump had gone so i changed the pump and belt.

since then, the fan doesnt kick in so ive had to bridge it, there is a small damp patch it the bottom left of the rad (by the fan switch).

ive bled all the air out and added some bar weld to sort out the rad but the fan switch is still not workin.

theres no water in the oil, or no oil in the water, no leaks, no smoke, no nothing lol

any ideas on what it could be? the thermostat is still workin alright and hot air still blow's through the vents.

im seriously out of things to blame it on. anyone got any ideas on how to sort it?

thanks all

Mike

 

I thought the fan switch was on the thermostat housing on those. it was on my 16v coz i had the same problem and had to replace it.

Try replacing the fan switch and see what happens. Worked with me

 

im sure its on the side of my rad, blue plug going into a yellow plug?

but even with the fan bridged and constantly running it over heats

 

Maybe the system need flushing out then. Possibly a blockage somewhere or an air lock perhaps?

Fan switch is definately on the thermostat housing. It's on the underside of it towards the front of the car

 

the temp sender is on the therm houseing an the fan switch is on the rad thats wht when u bridge the wires fan will stay on all the time with ignition.
ill have a look lata i have a couple of tests to do.
