Kenlow Sensor Position

[rushdriver]

I have a Dax Rush and it has a Kenlow fan on the radiator. The question is should the sensor for the fan be in the input pipe of the rad ( i.e from the engine) or on the output pipe of the rad ( i.e. the "cooler" water going back into the engine). The reason I ask is that it is currently on the input to the rad but I think that it should be on the output, so when the water comes out of the rad and it's hot because it is not getting any air through it then the fan should come on.

Any ideas??

That's what I thought about the bottom hose. I can adjust it down to "very" cool so I will set it to 70 degrees and see what happens. I am hoping that it will stop the fan running for ages whilst I drive along the road.

Thanks for your help

I must admit to me it makes more sense to put the sensor on the bottom hose and set the thermostat to a relatively low temperature. It's because when the car gets hot and I am driving along the road the fan is coming on and staying on when the water actually going into the engine has been sufficiently cooled by my twin core ali rad.

Any more ideas?

Maybe it is but I just get fed up with my fan running for ages when I have stopped the car or I am driving a long the road.

But if the water temp entering the radiator was low then the fan would not need to come on, it's only when the air flow through the rad stops and the water temp goes up that the problems start. I am still not sure what to do really.

Good call on checking as many cars as possible. It's a bit of a strange one this. I am off to a car show next week so I will post my findings then

Thanks for your help
