Evening all, hoping for some info please. My beloved boiled up in heavy London traffic last night- turns out fan not working. Real reason for the post is what temp do your cars run at- gauge on mine normally sits at 50deg and only gets up nearer 90 mark in slow traffic. Wondering if my gauge is reading low too....

Sounds like you need a new fan switch.

It should get to 85c then fan speed 1 will kick in, then get to 95 and fan speed 2 will kick in (and bring it below 95). So around 90c.

It sounds like your thermostat could be playing up too.

Okay, thanks very much for that info. My local mechanic has it at the mo so will wait to hear. Very useful to know the temperature thresholds for the fan.
