Can anyone with a V6 reply with their actual cooking fan start temperature to confirm RAVE ?

Thanks I just checked the note from the KV6 Rave and it seem my fans are only turning on at max speed only. Does yours do the same ?

According to Rave, the cooling fan should start at 90c. Mine (V6 engine)?are only starting when the coolant temperature reaches 105c. (According to ODB2). Can someone confirm their fans start at 90c?

I would look at live data from the maf sensor to see what it is seeing. The e throttle is right Next to the Maf sensor. Do you have the rave manual ?

Update on the coolant loss. I actually put some head gasket sealant and the leak is gone (I was loosing around 250ml per 30 mins trip now. What I actually did is to bypass the heating matrix and the oil cooler so that when I put the sealant I would have less issue. I then drained the...

Do you know if the fan controller is available as a separate part number? I will change the Inline temperature sensor that is the bottom hose first (it appears to be the exact same BMW part so eBay has some very cheap to try) and if that does not work the controller would be next. Thanks for...

Are your fans running properly now? I have the same behaviour with my cooling fans as you describe.

Nodge68 I am seeing the same problem with my fans not starting till the coolant temp is around the same (according to ODB reader) Did you figure what your issue was?

Which gearbox is in, the original or the replacement ? What do you mean the oil pump is not running, what happens for you to say this .

Also the TPM and automatic transmission must be compatible (due to the speed sensor removal at one point in time, if needed I can dig up my previous post where we found the exact partnumber). What year was your own Freelander and what year what the Freelander that donated the transmission ?

Could it be tappet noise ? (Valve spring) You are talking about the tick tick tick sound and not the one that sounds like air leaking out at high pressure right ?

I sprayed soapy water on the belt and I had the exact same problem and the noise went away. The bearing on the tensioner wheel of the serpentine belt is worked in my case. I confirmed after removing the belt. I still don't have the tensioner wheel changes though. Hopefully the soapy water...

Rock auto has all the parts available which is what I used. The KV6 belts and tensioners and thermostat is very similar to a Honda J Series V6 except for the additional back two can belts. I found his video very useful when I did mine:

On my NAS Freelander V6 both the printed diagram and the actual fuse are 30amp on position FL10. Car is 2002 never had an issue with that fuse. See pictures.

If you have a North American model of the V6, I can check my 2002 to tell you what amperage my fuse is. Let me know if you want the info.

Update. The camshaft sensor failed after a year and a half. Prevented the car from starting cold. It did not even do the warn start prevention like the last time. Changing the camshaft sensor solved the issue.

FYI as you probably already know, the pipe you linked LLH500220 is the one I have on my NAS V6 Freelander and is the larger diameter pipe. it does not match your picture in post 30. Here is a picture of my pipes (I live in Canada)

The door actuators are the same as the Mini Cooper. V6 crank and cam sensor are compatible and fit BMW parts. The NAS V6 MAF sensor is also compatible with BMW Front brakes sliding pins and bolts are compatible with Pontiac Aztec Coolant expensive tank cap is compatible with 2001 Ford Crown...

Are you able to see if the hylomar sealant is still secure on the cylinder liners? You might need a boroscope to look that far in. Take a look at this thread to see someone doing an engine rebuild on a K 4 cylinder engine, which have the same liner system...

I use 0w40 Mobil One synthetic. Canadian cold winters thus why the 0w
