johngreen537 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The fan only really helps out in traffic mate! With a fully working stat, the fan will only really cool in hot weather in traffic! I'd still say sort the stat before the fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acivic Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 @belfastlad123 did you get it sorted? I ask because Ive got same model as you (MB3) with similar type of thing happening. Went to get the thermostat changed, mechanic revved the sh** out of it & got the fan to kick in & said these cars run hot & nothing wrong with the thermostat.

scottravenhill Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 We do run hot dude but I would get the stat changed for how much it costs. Sounds closed shut mate. Or just take it out for a bit, you will know straight away if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
