How Often Does Your Cooling Fan Come On?
I had my radiator replaced a few months ago after an accident. Since then it seems like the engine/cooling fan comes on often. I can drive five miles (manual drive) on a cool or cold day in Cleveland (go cavs) ... and it will come on 1-2 times. Often it comes on when I come to a stop. Is this common? Thanks!

when i'm idling, it comes on frequently. when i'm cruising the interstate, i can't tell, but i'm sure it comes on sometimes.
|
This is normal.
|
Anybody know at what temp the cooling fan comes on? If not, I'll figure it out tomorrow and post it here if anyone is interested.

the fan on the xD is a little irritating in summer, when stopped at a light idling, it will turn on and run for short time, turn off, turn back on, off, on... way too much cycling... Id rather just have it run continuously for an extended time, the thermostat end points are set too close, I guess...
|
to the OP, yes, it is normal. I completely agree with you Troy, maybe a bypass switch is in order...
|
With my Z28 I installed a 160 T-Stat and turned the fan activation points down...shame we cannot do that with most Asian imports cause it made a huge difference in my operating temps. :)

Yeah, but remember that engines are generally more efficient at higher temps. As long as it isn't hot enough to cause damage.
I keep forgetting... I'll get the scangauge hooked up tomorrow if I can remember. |

By the way, I checked it out, and it seems like the fan comes on at 205F. It was only 75F out when I tested it, and the fan never came on during my 30 mile commute. When I parked at work, I let it idle with the AC on at it finally got hot enough to start the fan. During my commute, the temp stayed in the 198-202F range. I'll go out on a limb and say that it has a 200F thermostat in there. |
