cooling

Hey folks, I have only noticed this since fitting my FMIC, but when driving it's not audible at all, but when parked up, it sounds like the fan is on, but not quite as loud as the fan, if that makes sense?! I have changed the 3 fuses on the top of the battery as they had gone and my a/c...

at the weekend i changed out the coolant and put in some new G12 plus. now i then had the car running for about 30 mins and it would not bring the cooling fans in and the temperature guage sat on 90c. it didnt seem to matter how long i waited it just refused to bring them on. the only way i...

When i first got the car everytime i turned it off the water pump would stay running for about 5 - 10 mins. Well over the past few months it very rarely kicks in when i turn it off. I have checked the fuse and it is fine, Just had new water pump and belts and still does not come on. Any Ideas?

I change my coolant today on the leon as it was looking a bit sorry for itself and with winter coming cant go wrong. It only took about 3L where I thought it was about 5l, maybe some stayed trapped in the system? Anyway am I correct in saying that the system is self bleeding? Elsawin says run...

As we're fast approaching winter, can anyone shed some light on what the correct routine for warming up and cooling down the engine at the start and end of a journey? sounds a bit dense but its my first year with a cupra and dont fancy issues... ta

Right, i have identified my recently purchased LCR has this fault with the low speed fans not running with the a/c on. [:@] I Will be fitting the new fan/fans myself but have a few questions... :help: Do both fans need to be replaced (one small one large on my LCR) ? Does anyone know...

How big a job is it to change the NSF cooling fan? Does the radiator need removed?

hi all Are there any points in the cooling system where i can bleed air from? My haynes manual doesn't mention a thing about it Cheers

guys i had a new water pump (with cam belt and tensioners) fitted on monday. i know this is common so to those who've had it done, does the new kit result in excessive cooling? normally my engine will warm up after 5-10 mins of sub 3k rpm driving, and then stay at 90 degrees no matter...

My car cupra tdi had its 20K service done today at a local vw specialist. They picked up a few issues: 1st: Front brake pads are down to 2mm..are these expensive to replace? 2nd: They said the cooling fans are not working, however i do 300 miles a week and never seen the temp gauge go...

Normally when my car ( leon Cupra) is warmed up it runs at about 90degrees ( middle of temp guage) However with the colder nights and days i have noticed that this often drops to about 75 - 80 when the outside temp drops below 8c. This even happens at motorway speeds and i drive about 25 miles...

Has anyone else experienced their engine radiator fans on constantly? As soon as I start the car they come on full speed. This is from cold with the air-con/heating on or off. The only time they go off is when i turn the car off. Going to be serviced this week so will call dealer on Monday...

hi i have a vehicle in my care at the moment which a few of you may know of, its a grey X plate Cupra with a long list of mods and was recently bought by a mate of mine from a guy who lives in wales. anyway, the last week or so the cooling fan has stopped working (the one on the radiator)...

hey everyone :) a friend of mine recently bought a Fiat Coupe.. its the 2.0ltr 20v Turbo model and there is a small silver box which has been installed down in the footwell, and you can set it for any time in minute intervals from 1 minute to 60 minutes. anyway.. what it does is.. when...

Is It Best To Cool Down The Turbo Everytime I Use The Car Throughout A Day Or To Just Cool It Down At The End Of Every Day. Bearing In Mind That I Don't Really Screw It Around Everywhere

I hope someone can shine some light on this problem I have... I have just helped my girlfriend buy a 1.8 20v toledo from a local garage but unfortunately it has running temp problems. It wont run above 70-75 on the temp gauge! It runs most of the time at 60 (minimum)... It is under...

Last week i went through a large bit of water which cut out the engine. I got it going again but a couple of days later i left it running while it was stood and the temp light came. I then noticed that the cooling fan wasn't working. Does anyone know what the problem could be. I have...

Now then... Had a search, apparantly the small radiator fan is supposed to stay on slow when the Air Con is on. Trouble is both fans come on fast for a quick 10 second blast every minute or so, even when the engine is cold. Nothing happens when Air Con is off. Any ideas chaps?

Right ive been having this problem for just over a week now and im starting to worry bout it now. When every i got out to my car and go for a drive (no matter how far/hard) when i come home or stop at the destination the fan comes on . . . . . . . . all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you hear the...

I have a 51 reg Ibiza cupra. A few days ago i noticed that the noise the car makes when you switch off the engine has stopped. It used to make a noise for about 5 mins. Also when i was sat in traffic yesterday the engine temp got to about 115 and the light came on but the fans didn't kick in...
