What temp is it coming on?Passed MOT today. Got electric fan working lovely. Thermostat trigger temp is a bit high for my liking, but it's set at it lowest temp. Anyone got any ideas how to get the fan to come on at a lower temp?
Don't know the exact temp, but it's at the top of the thick white bar, whatever temp that is.What temp is it coming on?
It's probably over cooling. My temp needle stays more or less middle, between the white and red bars. Lots of owners run them with the viscous or electric fan. The engines are such big units they dissipate the heat very effectively.Don't know the exact temp, but it's at the top of the thick white bar, whatever temp that is.

Is your thermostat stuck shut?But it goes all the way up to the top of the gauge?! Even with the thermostat set to lowest temp, it only came on just before it got to the panic point. It did cool it down nicely though. I just want it to come on a bit sooner.
No, it's a new Revotec electric fan and thermostat. It does eventually come on, just very high.Is your thermostat stuck shut?
According to their website they are controllable from 70-120 degreesNo, it's a new Revotec electric fan and thermostat. It does eventually come on, just very high.
Ok, I'll have a look. Might change the thermostat anyway.According to their website they are controllable from 70-120 degrees
I mean the thermostat in the cylinder head of your engine. If the temp gauge needle is going all the way to the top then there's a rabbit off more than just the fan not kicking in. I would take the thermostat out and take it for a run to see what the needle does then. If it still goes up to the top then I'd suspect something wrong with the temp sensor or gauge.
They can be unreliable. Even new ones can be duff. As a baseline test I would still take it for a spin with the stat out. That'll give you a good idea if it's stat or gauge related.Ok, I'll have a look. Might change the thermostat anyway.
How would the engine thermostat effect the fans separate thermostat?They can be unreliable. Even new ones can be duff. As a baseline test I would still take it for a spin with the stat out. That'll give you a good idea if it's stat or gauge related.

Radiator top hose, where the fitting instructions tell you to fit it.Where in the system is the fans sensor?
I.E hot side or cool side of your engine thermostat, if that make sense.
