A mate of mine is having to replace his water temp sensor as his radiator fans arent kicking in.

follow the left hand radiator pipe.. it bolts to a metal pipe that runs under the inlet manifold.. it is fitted into this.. to the left of the throttlebody and to the right of the turbo..

If the rad fans *aren't* kicking in, then more likely to be a problem with the fans!
If the coolant temp sensor dies, the ECU normally puts the fans on constantly, and idle when cold will be erratic.

Yeah my mistake i got the thermostat and temp sensor mixed up. Looks like the thermostat wasnt opening and so there was never any hot water in the rad.
Is there a temp sensor in the rad that controls the fans?
