Anyone lowered the temperature at which the rad fan switches on? I'm looking at keeping mine running a bit cooler.

Have you got to swap out the thermo fan sensor or something along those lines? And whats the preferred alternative switch?

Cheers

not a wise idea, youll be too close to the thermostat opening temp and have the fan on all the time.

the temperature is chosen as its where the engine is at its most efficient

You can do the air-con mod and use the button to switch them on at half speed manually.

Or full speed depends which pins you join.

Thermostat opens at 82 degrees I'd set fans to come on at 95 degrees roughly... you'll need a revotec fan controller to do that.



And even if they stayed on to long the engine won't run to cold it will only get to 82 degrees and the stat will regulate it to that temp same as it dies when your driving along with air passing through the rad....
