The ALARM Beeped AND The Stop signal appeared on the dash. The temperature gauge went to the max. Aircon didn't blow cold either. I had to stop, leave the car for a while, start off again with the heating on till I got home. Think its a case of the fan not cutting in. No faults showing on up on torque/carista apps. Any ideas what to look at? Anybody with similar problems ?
There will be an electrical plug on the radiator... This is where the car reads your coolant temperature from. 1st- Disconnect the electrical plug and check you have voltage with the ignition on. This will rule out a blown fuse. 2nd- Assuming you have power, bridge the electrical plug with a piece of wire... If the Fan starts- you have a faulty temperature sensor (bit where the elec plug plugs in). If the fan doesn't start- it's a new fan motor you need. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
