Cooling Fan on 106?

Jun 25, 2005 1 Replies

Ok, Just bought a 2nd hand 106 Independence 02 reg.



Its only done 29k and its its a really nice little car.



Just picked it up from the dealer, and drove it around a bit, while being parked outside a friends house (engine ruinning) the cooling fan kept coming on every 2-3 minutes, would run for about 30 seconds, and then go off. (Lather, rinse, repeat), Now the day was warm, but i have never had a car do this....so i dont think its normal... Waited till now (9pm ish), drove it around, and its not doing it (cool night)



Do you all think somethings wrong? It drives and sounds like a dream and doesnt overheat when driving.....(its one of those without the temp guage, its just got the warning light)



Any ideas?



==================== The cut-in temperatures are 97C / 101C (Petrol / Diesel) and those temperatures can easily be reached on a hot day in standing traffic with no air flow through the radiator. The cut-out temperatures are 92C / 97C so it would appear that your fan was operating quite efficiently and correctly. You say the day was warm but don't say exactly what the temperature was so I guess that you've just been caught out a bit by the very hot weather we've had recently.

Just monitor the situation for a few days and see what happens!

Cic.
