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.

first speed on at 95 off at 84....second on at 102...off at 91...Hope this helps..

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...

Excellent cheers boss. Seems its about right then I just don't remember it lol

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.
