Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I've been trying to help a friend with his recently purchased Y reg 1.4 306.
I've read through this guide http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-7432-post-150325.html and we can follow all processes up to the coolant sensors. The pair of us have been able to spot the location of the three coolant sensors. We have one blue one on top of the thermostat which if we unplug turns on the nearside fan (I assume at full speed, I've had nothing to compare it to). We pulled out the offside fan to test it directly off 12v with no response, I assumed it was a dead motor. We picked up a second hand one which also failed to spin off 12v... Another dead one perhaps? We also can't spot the bitron unit (we had the bumper off at the weekend).
I've tried numerous relays with no change, all fuses are intact, the thermostat is fine, the radiator was replaced prior to his ownership on which we noted an additional blue sensor but no wiring harness connection?
Any further guidance or things to try? Failing that we will install an aftermarket fan on the inside of the engine bay.
Thanks in advance. Mike.
