Can anyone confirm what temperatures the fans come on, and go off at, for both low and high speed? Im trying to work out a way at the moment to bring the fans on at different temperatures to keep the engine cool in traffic. Ideally, it wouldnt go over 90 degrees even when sitting in traffic for a while but as we all know, they can hit well over 100 before dropping down again.
I was looking at fitting a cool run stat but this could also pose issues with running too cold (which is a major problem with running the car with the brown plug unplugged/fans on full). I did also look at fitting a electronically controlled thermostat but that required a lot of work!
