Sierrafery What temp gage have you installed sounds interesting.
Is it possible to replace parts of the viscous fan or is it only the complete unit available?
but do you have a gauge fitted?...cos if not you can run it at over 100 untill 110*C without even knowing it for long journeys and it will come the time when you'll end up with a cracked head, provided you have a working aircon/engine cooling fan which kicks in at 110... as stated before the car's gauge is not well conceived, it stays on the middle position between 70 and 120*C, when the gauge goes up from the middle at 120*C it's about too late...it's not healty to do that even if you was lucky untill now, at least fit a 10 quid temp gauge which is easy to fit to be on the safe side
coolant temp sensor needs to be changed as it operates the viscous fan cut in when this sensor fails.
...now i'm curious how would a management sensor affect a mechanical viscous fan
