Reason I ask is it was hot today when I went for a spin and back in the garage the first fan stayed on for ages and the temp hovered around 92/93.
Seemed to me like the second fan should step in and help lower the temp so they could both turn off!

Mr Varley, he say.......Fan1 on at 92C off at 88C, fan 2 on at 96C?

HTH's and it depends on your sensors/dash reading which are not what the fans/ECU sees. They have a separate temperature sensor which can be "slightly" different to the reading you see on the dash? If you have the MBE software that will display the temperatures the fan1 and 2 come on/off at?

About 92 & 96 degrees. Read out on the dash is not the same as the ECU that controls the fans so what you see on the dash may be incorrect.
