Hi,
I have a fabia mk ii 1.6 (BTS) and the fan not working.
i've replaced the fan module (relay) since it had some charring around one of the terminal (and because it was a fake one - made in china)
i've removed the radiator fan sensor and put it in hot water and it's working (it shorted the upper pin with the one of the lower pins in one temperature and the uppe and the other lower pin in hotter temp (didn't check the exact temp though))
i've shorted the fan sensor connector and the fan's working in both high and low speeds. when i turn on the A/C the fan's working (when i went to the mechanic, the fan didn't work at all, even when the A/C was on).
i don't know what the problem could be. Maybe it's a thermostat problem and sensor doesn't get hot enough OR the radiator is clogged ?
how long the car need to be driven to get to operating temp ?
could you please help?
thanks
Ido
p.s. i've made a short test drive and then stopped for 10 mins . the upper radiator hose was hot and the lower was colder and still the fan didn't worked,
* why skoda didn't fit a temperature gauge in the cluster is beyond me.
