Got a prob here!!

Car drives fine, then you come to traffic and the cooing fans come on,then they literally wont go off! Car can sit for 3 hours and start up and they are still on!

This happened the other day and after 10 mins of sitting on the motorway they went off and stayed off al day


anyone got any ideas?

thanks

Which fan are you talking about?

There is a fan bolted to the front of the engine - this will always turn

There are also the A/C fans, these will come on when required to cool the Condenser or if it detects the engine coolant overheating. Whilst in traffic etc. They will kick in before you notice the gauge move.

When was the last time you changed your coolant? If you've not changed it every other year then they system could be all bunged up and in need of a flush...
