[B]Fan Stays On After I've Stopped For A Minute Or 2[/B]

[SiThomas]

I've got a mk2 VTR and if I drive it for more than 10 minutes, when I stop the fan keeps going. It's loud and just more of an annoyance than anything.

Any ideas why it does it or how to fix it?

[Mochachino]

OH NO! SHIT!!

This is normal.

[beaney]

its ment to be on it means ur car is getting hot so the fan cums on

put ur fot down and then the fan goes of lol

U could drive it 4 less than ten minutes, not go over 20mph or cut the wires to the fan but that may not be a good idea

[jalal]

you could put it on a switch but make sure you wire it up properly otherwise dont want the wirse burnin out etc even thou its ment to come on to make sure it dont over heat ov course

Ps: It's normal, but it could indicate one of your sensors or your rad is on the way out if it does it all the time, even when the weather isn't particularly warm

sorry

thought it was only if you had a second fan that you fitted an on/off switch

I'll let you off as yours was just a "U" and I could actually understand the rest lol

[SiThomas]

Ahh okay. Yeah, it does it all the time, not just when it's a hot day :/

lol its not like a fan to keep it cool for it to feel good. Itll do it anyday in the winter no matter how cold it is.

More so when the cars idling.

I think there are different thermostats available that can help, when i had a 8v i replaced the thermostat with a motor factors job and it ran unusually hotter than 'normal' with the fan coming on when i parked up.

It was annoying so tried a different thermostat, a genuine one, problem solved :y:

[SiThomas]

What was the thermostat called?
