I started my car from cold tonight and noticed a noise from the front which I think is the radiator fan. I've never noticed this before , and surely it shouldn't be on when the car is cold? Should it?:confused:

Cheers,

Tony, the main fan runs continuously, but i think you mean the auxillary electic fan, as this is the noisey one. Very possible your temp sensor is loose if you pop the bonnet start it then give it a waggle to see if it stops, most people replace them with a new clip, mines got a cable tie wrapped tightly round it for now!!!

 

Has your tickover risen a bit too??

Cheers Berks,

Without wanting to sound thick!! (yes I know I am!!):rolleyes:

where is the temp sensor and what does it look like?

Now all the neighbours think im mad, out taking pictures of the car, at midnight in the rain!!!

 

Its the one with the cable tie on it and the arrow!!! (yours will not have the cable tie or the arrow though!!!

Thanks Berks, you are a gent!!:D

What a lovely clean engine!!;) ;)

Cheers,
