Cooling fans
When should the fans come on? The temp gauge never goes above half, in fact it sits just below halfway.
Also should they run when the ignition is switched off? My usual experience with cooling fans is that they will stay on after the vehicle is switched off, but wondered if it was different from vehicle to vehicle.
It’s got me a little paranoid but the gauge never goes above half so I don’t think there’s any issues, a slight leak at the oil cooler pipe but all levels are fine.

My external diameter of the top hose is 45mm and scoobyworx do a 38mm mishimoto kit so I’m guessing that’s the one to get.
I’ll have a look to see what sensors it has, if it’s got the ecu sensor I think it’s very near the oem gauge sensor.
