RE: [doc] Possible cooling fan problem

[DANIEL SHANE <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had my otter-stat (fan Switch) die the other day. 
On removing it the switch's metal body had cracked in
half.

Got a new one from DMUK, fitted it and now the fans
work correctly.  The temp gage goes a little way past
the the 1/4 mark and then turns the fans on until the
temp drops just below the 1/4 mark.

Hi
Toby Peterson in America has an adjustable switch, so
I think I will go with that. 
 
I think the high temperature was just a one off thing,
because it was a really hot day, along with heavy
traffic almost the whole way to Dublin. Better to be
safe than sorry though!
 
We are having a meetup at the end of the month in Co.
Leitrim which is a big drive for the car, so I will
try and get that switch for then.
 
Thanks for the replies!

Thomas,

it wont be the thermostat, but it could be the otter
switch ( or
whatever it is called ) in the water pipe on the LHS
of the engine, they
can vary a bit. I like the one's Dave Howarth sells, 
that switch on at
a slightly lower temperature.  Or of course it could
just be that your
temp gauge is reading slightly out and all is well
really.  I'd keep a
close eye on it, but if it does not actually boil up
it should be OK. 

Best regards

Hi
My cooling fans arent coming on until the temperature
needle is slightly
below 220. On a friends De Lorean, the stage at which
the fans come on
is much lower. Is the thermostat faulty?
The car doesnt overheat, but its very close. The
coolant level is normal
and there are no leaks.

Thanks
