Right just got back from a good old thrash in the car as the weathers so nice (bout time)

But i noticed that my tempratures been kinda high, felt the fans cut in a couple of times when drivin, (is this normal) my car been off the road 4 bout 8 months havin a referb, in this time if fitted new hoses n ally rad, cant really remember it runnin this hot b4 but i have been beastin it lately

I dont think its the head gasket as this was done bout 7000miles ago, and its not showin any of the usual signs like oil in the water n boilin over header tank, i also drove 2 manchester n back last weekend (mainly off boost) n it didnt once get 2 hot,

Any chance it could b the thermostat?

Cheers jay

 

Probably just the weather, if it is not overheating I would not worry yet as the fans are supplying suffecient cooling.

yer thats what i was thinkin but with these cars every knock,noise and slight miss u end up thinkin the worse llol

 

Ive just fitted up an alloy rad to mine and notice the fans stay on for longer/cut in more....I put this down to heatsink from the alloy radiator as my temps stayed teh same tbh. Is proberbly just as tabby said with the weather also coupled with cossie ownership parranioa

 

lol as long as its not just me then

 

No me as well!!

your wireless of cooling is genuine???
because my car made that and and i re-made all wireless with 3 relay!!
now fans have 2 speed et cooling when motor is off

sorry for my english

 

The fans work spot on fella, workin at the correct speeds n temp, as u say they even work when the engines turned off, i was just a little worryed that they r comin on so often, least i know that they r workin, found a slight waterf leak 2day at the turbo RUBBISH

 

ok

 

Mine did the same recently, just started reading a little higher up the gauge than normal, turned out the thermostat wasn't opening.

Now it's overheating because the fans aren't coming on AGAIN! So back in the garage this week
