hello guys. i have another prob with my s2

the fan seems to have a mind of its own, sometimes it cuts in fine, but other

time it just wont cut in, for example i was stuck in traffic today and the temp got close to the red, fan wasnt on, but other times it cuts as soon as the needle hits halfway, i have changed the fan switch. what else could it be?
pls help,, gettin a bit fed up of the car now

check that the connecter on the fan switch isnt burnt away and clean the contacts on the fan unit itself

 

thanks for the reply mate, will try cleaning the contacts, the blue connector for the fan does look a bit burnt when you take it off, can these still be bought?

 

should still be available from your local spares shop
check your fuse is making a clean contact , just like the rear lights , the connectors corode
ive replaced my std fan with a 12"flat jobbie , works fine and looks neater.
also a shit load easier to remove the rad when i need to work on my turbo
also try squashing the connectors at the thermal switch and pushing them on again

 

i had this prob,and it was a connection in the fusebox on one of the relays
