Can anyone confirm the approximate temperature their 306 radiator fan kicks-in?
While I was stuck in slow-stop traffic a few days' ago (for about an hour), the temp gauge slowly went into the red: not just the first red line, but slightly into the thick red bar. The traffic started moving again shortly afterwards, so the temperature went back down to 70ish (as normal).
Was I very lucky, or does it kick in very late? The manual is slightly ambiguous about it, so I would like some 'real world' experience.
Needless to say, I was in a state of quiet panic, as I was waiting for the ECU to say "enough's enough" and put the 'STOP' light on.
Thanks for any advice!
