What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - MY95 - 01-07-2014
As above, my car went up to 95 degrees+ on the guage sitting in traffic at 22 degrees the other day after about 10 mins, didnt hear the fans kick in

Mine kicks in about 98 but they a quite so you dont really hear them if you wana cool your engine down quick put the heaters on full will cool down in a few minutes

The first should kick in at slow speed at 93 iirc, then the second at 103 or 98 or something like that.
Have you got aircon? Easy way to tell if they're working is to bridge pins 1 & 3 on the plug up on the drivers wing (can't remember what it plugs into, aircon was sacked off years ago
), then turn the aircon on, should set the fans going.

I have aircon yes but it doesnt work... Like most 306s haha

Standard lol. May as well bridge that plug and leave it as a manual fan switch then!

Haha yeah, I would if I knew how to do that haha, going to take the aircon compressor out as well as the fans if they dont work at all
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - Poodle - 02-07-2014
Exactly as i described a couple of posts up.

To test the fans unplug the temp sensor on the side of the block.
If you do the 1&3 pin job on the plug that goes to the ac pressure sensor then make sure you unplug the compressor or you'll break the compressor as there will be no oil going though it. That mine seize the compressor, break your aux belt and that could take your cam belt out.
I found both my fans didn't work, fixed them and fixed the ac now.

Mine usually kick in about 98
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - Piggy - 05-07-2014
You often wont hear the low speed fan come on...high speed is normally louder
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - dashmader - 17-07-2014
high speed should be at 103ยบ
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - Iceman299 - 10-09-2014
I'm having a problem with my fans as well. The aircon works (seems to be a rare thing) and the fans come on with the a/c but don't work when the temp rises.
Would this suggest the motor is ok and it's the relay(s) that need changing?
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - Poodle - 10-09-2014
How high did the temp go? If it didnt pass 100 then you probably wouldn't have heard thrm come on.
But yeah, if they come on with the ac but not at high temperature then the fan motor itself is most likely fine.
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - Iceman299 - 10-09-2014
It's reached 100 when in traffic in the summer iirc (over halfway anyway) and easily climbs to 90 in standstill now. When driving it never reaches over 80 with the air getting to the radiator
I'll try changing the control relay and see if that makes a difference
RE: What temp should my cooling fans kick in at? - Poodle - 11-09-2014
Might be worth having an ask/search in the electrical section, they'd have a better idea.
