Right guys have had an ongoing problem with my pug 306! Headgasket got done and since then the car is fine but not if it's in traffic for a long time! The fans kick in at about 103?? Surely that's way to high and even then it doesn't push temp down! I then turn off engine and as expected water out of overflow pipe! Am I looking at a new fan switch or temp switch or what? Thanks guys________________________________________ bloooobirds |

Also just to add the fan is very inconsistent about coming on! Also when it goes over 100 I tend to turn the car off so don't know Exatly what temp fan kicks in! If it doesJust a quick update I have now run the car till the fans kicked in at about 103!! I noticed only the left side spinning!! Is this normal! Thanks ________________________________________ bloooobirds |

I think the first fan should kick in at about 90 odd then the second at 103ish, so looks like your first fan isn't working. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Ye that looks and sounds right! The fan is high speed when kicks in so I'm guessing the low speed fan is nackered! Any suggestions what to do or I need? ________________________________________ bloooobirds |

Never done it myself, see if you can get to the connections and see if the first fan is getting 12v or not, it should come on when you unplug the brown temperature sensor plug. Check obvious stuff like stones stuck in it, if it's getting volts but not blocked or turning it'll be new fan time. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Try the brown plug first, see if it comes on. If it doesn't, you'll need a multimeter to check the voltage. Have a search on here, you'll find everything you need. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Took the plug out and only one fan came on! Seems like only the high speed fan is working! Is this common? ________________________________________ bloooobirds |

It is according to the number of threads already on the subject  Just search for "fan not working", you'll find all the suggestions and fixes in there. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

More than likely to be the bitron unit, which controls the fans.________________________________________  |
