hello all.

i have a uk my96 with a few mods(scooby ecu/k&n induction/gruppe-s header/up pipe/decat syatem(full)/uprated clucth)....FMIC due soon...

since changing the headers/exhaust etc..i have noticed the fan comes on a lot more..not loosing water and temp gauge reading normal....


could the mods have caused it run hotter?
any advice would be much appriciated!

Have you wrapped the headers? They run very close to the bottom of the rad so maybe could be the prob. Also has the car been 'mapped' to accomodate the headers etc as they could cause the car to run lean, again resulting in greater engine temps!!

 

chhers pickle mate

the headers are wrapped...etc.

not remapped other than scoobyecu on her..

got lamda and knocklink packages in post(from s/net group buy) today so will get them fitted early next week....maybe they will confirm yer idea?

thanks again

Just thought of something else, when I fitted my headers, there is some wiring that is clipped to the bottom of the rad, which I had to rotate 180' to hold the wiring away from the Headers. I have read somewhere before I think that their wiring had partially melted, causing trouble with the fans!!
I don't think that this is your problem tho if the fans are intermittant, but worth checking/rectifying if not been done

 

tis worth a look..it'll should have its fmic fitted next week hopefully so may need to tidy.....so to speak.
