Just taken the S2 out for a little trot but its just getting to hot, do any of you guys know where the fan switch is i think im going to get the fans to stay on for a little longer when i stop etc?

Have many ppl got their fan on just a normal on/off switch

Cheers in advance

take the stat out!..... will only be a tempery solution tho! same as manual fan switch!

tho i know what ya saying my pug 306 fan used to stay on till the water was cool even with the key out the ignition! really surprised turbo cars dont have this as std really!

Andrew

Cheers for the quick reply james, thats what i want it to happen the fans stay on til the water is cool, just trying to figure a way of doing it, do you know where the fan switch is located is it on th engine block?

Cheers

james_birch

Get a 82degree thermo stat, cossie fan switch (comes in earlier) and either, park up and keep ignition on and fan will stay running and cool it, or fit a manual fan switch (best idea) Dont bridge it and have it on with ignition live, I did this on my old one, was a nightmare

I have an in-car fan switch on the S1 and S2. Just for peace of mind really. You have total control over the car's temp then, rather than relying on an auto temp switch which may deteriorate over time & let those temps creep up before cutting in.

Andrew

Cheers for all your help ppl.
Any ideas where i can get a lower temp thermostat?

james_birch

from burtons or somewhere like that!

Andrew

Cheers ppl

Christian at APT can sort you out a lower opening thermostat.

The Fan Switch is in the Thermostat housing, not in the block.

Andrew

Thats great Tony, cheers, so in theory all i need is the lower temp thermostat and replace it where you hav arrowed i guess.

Still trying to think of a way of getting the fan to stay on without the ignition running ummmmmmm.... (Something to think about when im at work - Bored lol)

Tony Turbo

Hiya,

Where I pointed to is where the fan switch goes, the thermostat itself goes here...





Hope that helps mate

james_birch

aahh so what is that thing sticking out of my block then?! that when it melted itself it wouldnt turn my fan on?! will get a picture tomorrow!

Tony Turbo

No need to keep shouting!!!! !!!

LOL


The thing you mean is probably the water sender, at a guess, there are lots of things that stick out of the block.

Little black cap over it?
