first thing yesterday different engine noise while still cold, as if something else was running, then its now started to hesitate just as u pull away revs drop for a second, then its fine. can anyone shed a light . thanx guys. off 2 work....

I'll bet my last Rolo that this is a faulty coolant temp sensor or the wiring to it, causing the little elec fan to run all the time.

To start with take the sensor off and give it a good clean.

I thought the fan ran all the time on the zed anyway????

Jock, the viscous fan runs all the time, the main big one, as this is coupled straight to the engine but there is a small kinda back-up fan right at the front, I'm told this one would kick in if you were stuck in a traffic jam or similar situation. Get down on your hands and knees at the front and look up under or through the front bumper and you will see it.

cheers james,

had a look today while taking out the headlight, and you're not wrong, shame I was looking for that to explain the reason why my air con doesnt work (constant fan , too cold to heat the cabin, it was a thought, just not a clear one):o
