MK1 Clio Versailles
Well my car passed the MOT today which I was chuffed with, so now onto the next repair job.
The fan doesn't cut in say when stuck in traffic and I had one nasty overheating incident when in a long jam. Whereever I travel now, if I'm stuck for 15 minutes or more in slow traffic, I get close to overheating.
Problem is I have no temperatue guauge (it's the shitty low model) and only the light comes on warning you that you should turn the engine off etc.
Now we had a look and the fan was slighty stiff (evidently hadn't been working for a while when I had it).
I've loosened it up, and let the car run for around 15/20 minutes and didn't get it to overheat let alone the fan run.
Any ideas what the problem could be? Would I need a new fan or could it be the leads?
