Only one of my cooling fans is working. The one that kicks in at 94c is working ok, but the one at 92c never kicks in or starts.

What should I check first?

Looks like both work but at the wrong temperature.

The 2nd one does come on, but only around 100 according to the POD display.

The beeping scares the st out of me lol!!

So, I guess it could be the POD sensor? IS it the same that sets off the fans?

Not yet,

Both fans actually spin and work, just seems at too high a temperature. I have ordered new sensors, as I also noticed some drop in engine power sometimes when driving, which I read is also a symptom of a failing sensor.

I will change the sensors when I do the bonnet mod.

Stupid question, which is cylinder 2 and 5? From the front of the car is 6 or 1?

Problem found. The dash sensor shows 10 - 13c difference to the ECU sensor.

I connected my PC to the ECU and the fans work correctly when I see the temp on the ECO Software readout
