    When do fans kick in?

    Hey guys

    Just put the car back together and run it up to bleed it through and noticed the fan wasn't kicking in when I was expecting it to. At what temperatures are each of the fan stages supposed to kick in at?

    Thanks
    Chris

    Wasn't it something like 95 degrees and 120?

    You can manually engage the fan using the AC button if it came in your car.

    If I give my car the beans a little, temp just get up fairly quickly..but it's a hot country where I'm from.

    Wish I could do something, anything to help it cool better

      Mine is an aby wih no air on. I seem to remember the fan stage 1 coming on earlier than it did earlier but I don't remember tbh as it's been 4 months since it was last used. I think the fan eventually kicked in at 2 or 3 marks after the 90 marking.

          Consider the fact that the gauge sensor is on the head...and the termoswitch for the fan is in the lower chamber of the radiator...is a big difference between the 2...

              From my experience these cars only bleed fully after a good run, air finds its way to the expansion bottle and coolant level drops slightly.

              Should all settle down then.
