sparkz 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 When this vr is running, it is ok (100' water temp/halfway on the guage) Once i hit traffic or move slowly then the needle starts to creep upwards and starts to overheat. The fan still cuts in though which makes me think that the sensor on the rad is working ok. Possible thermostat or temp switch?Any ideas?? Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I would guess at the thermostat, but it seems a bit odd that it does not overheat constantly if it was, which fan speed runs? Maybe the fan is not cutting in on the first switch soeed? May be worth testing that first? Link to post Share on other sites
sparkz 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Fan cuts in at first speed. Its in a mk2 so i doubt that that the 2nd speed will ever kick in!! Ive noticed water on the passenger floor so im gonna do the matrix tomorrow as well as the thermostat and blue temp switch so hopefully that will cure the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
