DaveyB76 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hi guys I was just wondering if my corrado Vr6 has a fault as its normal running temp is usually 110 degrees but it can creep up a little higher when in traffic just seems a little high to me and the fans are always over running when I turn engine off which makes me think there's a problem somewhere!!!

DaveyB76 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just done a fan test and looks like stage 2 isn't working is this an easy fix if so how?? Link to post Share on other sites
Hula 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have the same issue of the running temperature but on the motorway it's fine, did you find a solution? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Stage 1 and 2 are operated from the temp sensor on the radiator, what exactly did you to to test? Link to post Share on other sites
DaveyB76 0 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 You have to unplug the black sensor from the thermostat housing then unplug the sensor on the rad and with the ignition on bridge out the red wire to the common wire that's stage 1 then bridge out the black and red wire with the common that's stage 2 which should run a little faster than stage 1 but mines not running at all on stage 2 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Possibly your fan motor knackered then mate, they have a resister to control the speed and speed 1 often burns out... Have you got any spare to test with? Link to post Share on other sites
DaveyB76 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 No got no fan to test with but I've stumbled across a box next to washer bottle and it looks like it should house 4 relays but mine are all missing :-( Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mmm not familiar with that? Sure your not on about the fan control module by the header tank? Possible to take a photo?Only other thing I can think of is that its had an updated head light loom, I fitted one to mine and tucked relays away down by washer bottle, but mine had 3 relays...

DaveyB76 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Found out the missing relays are for my air con lol so looks like I'm gonna need to buy a new fan or the fan module probably best to change them both to be on the safe side Link to post Share on other sites
