Hello
My car is a naf 1.0 12v X10XE engine 1998 Reg
Right yesterday i was driving in bumper to bumper traffic for around 30 mins and my cars temp reading was pretty much off the red mark 105+ steam came from the engine. So i pulled over and let it cool. Anyway this nearly happened before, i used to have a 1.2 8v corsa and the fan would cut in around 97, yet with this one the cooling fan has never come on.
Any ideas what i can do to fix this problem, also to add the hot blowers inside the car work, so im guessing not a rad fault.
Try replacing your radiator fan switch, located right on the side of the radiator. It should have a plug coming out and going off to the ECU. If not then try taking the fan out of the car, try and connect two cables to your battery (red + and negative -) and then use the other end of them to activate the fan, if the fan is ok, it should spin, if not then the fan is gone.
