Coolant problems

[knotty]

got a small problem with my fans not kicking in when idle so i assume the thermostat or thermoswitch is bust

now ive replaced the engine coolant temp sensor (G62) already not sure if this is something to do with the thermostat or not....

anyway i need to find the exact location of the thermostat and thermoswitch to replace them and hopefully get the fans running again...

next thing i need to find is the place to drain the full system and which coolant is best to put in it over winter, ive had to top it up with some tesco ready mixed coolant but want to drain the full system if ive got to do work on it.

Have you checked your fusebox? Could be a fuse, this heppened to me the other week

yep check the fuses on top of the battery first (it is the one nearest the wing for fans/air con)

will check tomorrow morning
