The fan on my car, Untill just before Xmas only used to come on after a very long journey, However as winter approached it stopped working all togeather, I put this down to the temprature and didnt worrie about it.
However through spring it still never kicked in, Untill i washed out the engine two weeks ago, Now however, It wont stop working! Every time i park up, even after idoling in my driveway for 20 seconds, the fan will activate for a good 5-10 mins.
Im not entirly sure how the fan system works, But i was wondering if maybe there is a senser of some kind that is blocked by water, and maybe the water is heating up making the motor think its hotter than it is, Or anyother solution, Ive had a look and scratched my head a few times, Taken all the connectors out and cleaned them, Maybe its normal behaviour? Either way i figured id ask here.
Thanks

i had similar problem mine turned out to be the sensor on the bottom right of the radiator, if ur standing face on to the car., its something like a 24mm nut type jobie, quiet simple to change just remember to leave ur heater switched to hot when u fill her back up

Sounds about normal to me, mine sometimes stays on when I stop my engine. If the oil temp on the MFA is ok and the temp gauge looks normal then I wouldn't worry about it. :)
