Running hot ??

[padc1]

I'm posting an email and the garages response

Your thoughts please
Start from the bottom

Think the car is running correctly now as before we did the mod to the earths on the lambda earths they where reading low on the dash as soon as we unplugged the lambda sensors the readings went up on the dash to the correct values. The first fan should come on at 91 roughly and the second at 95, before the dash has always read low on yours so that is what you got used to.
Hope this makes sense


Hi

Since I collected the car from you a few weeks back after its service I noticed that the water temp was quite a bit higher than it was prior to the service

I went out today for a long drive and even on the motorway it was high and when I was driving in slower traffic (not at a standstill) the fans where kicking in

I've never had the fans come on before unless I had been at a standstill for quite some time

Anything I can try before I bring it back to you ?

Forgive me but I still can't get my head around what's going on
Was I getting a false reading before the earth mod was done and the fans weren't coming on when they should have but we're coming in at a higher temp due to the false reading ?

It just seems a little strange the the fans are coming on even when the car is moving (at a low speed)
as I've never had this happen before it feels like something's not right

I really like dark wheels on the lighter colours makes them look a bit more macho !!
