Got a stage three sapphire with RS500 style intercooler. Is it common for the radiator fans to be on a LOT with the standard radiator? I've changed the thermostat, fan switch, and flushed the sysem with no difference. The temp gauge never goes above the O, generally sits between the R and the O.


If this is common, what remedy is usually used??


Cheers,
Pete.

 

How much is "a lot"??

 

I'd say over 50% of the time. And it is always both of them that are on. There is never just one on at a time. As it is a two stage fan switch i trhought this stange.

Yes they are on a lot and stay on for a long time. The escorts have a 2 stage fan switch, but i dont think Saff's do. Ive only ever known both fans to be on and that on mine, my mates 3 door and another mate who used to have a saff, so unless all of ours are fucked then dont worry

 

Terrific That's just what I wanted to hear!!! That puts my mind at ease.


Would a water wetter make any difference or are they crap?


Cheers for that,
Pete.

 

nowt to worry about mate..

the cooler blocks the flow to the rad a bit..

 

mine are on a fair amount- most times when i stop the fans will be on...

car doesn't get to hot. stays around 80 - 85 deg on a hot day in traffic, very very rarely it goes to 90.

 

i got alloy rad aswell as a rs500 cooler,fans on bout same times as with std set up
