xStric9x Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Just noticed over the last week or so that my engine fans comes on every time i turn the heaters on in the car, 5 seconds after i turn them off the engine fan stops. Any ideas? Quote
NWZ Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Could it be the warm weather and maybe the air is thin? I'll try mine tomorrow bud and let you know. Quote
xStric9x Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 It was cold this morning Mark when i tried it and it came on by the time i got to the end of my street, i stopped turned my heaters off and off went the engine fan too Quote
M350ZB Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Never heard anything like this before, you got plenty of water in the bottle Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 If you've got the controls set to Auto and the Climate control on then the fans will cut in and out. Quote
Chris`I Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Very odd indeed, never heard of that before, but then again I've never looked for it either! Is it defiantely down to the heater then? Do they cut in and out with the engine running as normal? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I'm a I mistook your meaning to be the blower, not the engine fan Anyway as said by others this is unusual. It may be worth getting the fan sensor checked out. Quote
xStric9x Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Mmm will get it checked Thanks guys. Quote
Chris`I Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 dodgy thermostat would be my guess I did think that, but why only come on with the heater? Quote
M350ZB Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Its a very odd one, is it still under warrenty ? Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 it could be the system needs a flush, this would cause these symptoms, i think i have read before about a zed having sludge in the heater core check coolant level check the radiator is not obstructed (suprising what can get stuck on there, plastic bags, leaves etc) Quote

xStric9x Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Nope, everything is as it should be. Quote
Chris`I Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Take it the heaters get as hot as usual when on? Not an airlock somewhere? Quote
xStric9x Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Take it the heaters get as hot as usual when on? Not an airlock somewhere? Heaters are working fine Chris. I came home from work tonight, pulled up on the drive and could hear the fan running. Turned the heater off and within 5 seconds the engine fan stopped. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 what about the temp on the guage - normal mike ? Quote
