Hi all,
My car overheated this weekend while sat in traffic, I was able to pull over just in time to see it vent. After letting her cool down and topping up the coolant, i was able to drive home (although the Orange Engine Light was on).
Checking the car i've deduced that the fans are not operating. ie leaving the running on the drive, temp gradually raising, but fans not kicking in, and then today i performed the Auto Active Test, i could hear the relays clicking etc but the fans did not operate. I want to perform some further tests, but so far it seem likely that the fans have failed given all the similar hits i find when googleing.
What amazes me however is that Nissan US extended the Warranty for the fans because of this issue, extending them to 84K/7 year. Why is this not the same here in the UK, don't the cars come from the same factory? I know there are soem slight differences, but surely the fans are the same. if so Nissan have acknowledged there is an issue and we should be equally covered?
I'll be ringing my dealer in the morning, i'm not expecting to get anywhere, but i can at least try. Anybody know where i can get a set of replacement fans/motors and how difficult is it to replace?
cheers
