Run it up to temp stationary. If your temp starts heading north of 100 you have an issue. If so post back and we can help

I just bridged the fan switch using a split pin.

Its only ever gone to 90 degrees on a boiling hot day in traffic, not much chance of getting it to 100 now, i read somewhere you can unplug one of the plugs on the thermostat housing? Just want to check if the fans actually work not at a given temperature or anything

My fans never worked in the 1.8 or the estate so i removed them. Fitted a slim line in the 1.8 but havent got round to wiring it up yet.

I've had mine at 100 And the fans not kick in haha, never had it more though but I thought that was quite a high temp?

Ive had 2 hdis that fans didnt kick in atal.
And 2 dt's that the fan comes on around 94 or that. Dont let it near 100 or youl be after a new head gasket an skim. HDI D'Turbo Daily Driver ---- XUD D'Turbo Project

To be honest i dont like it going above 85 haha its very rare it even gets to 90 and by the time it does im moving again and getting air to the rad so drops back down
