1.8 Cti overheating
Hi Guys
I need some help please my car started to overheat and burst the top radiator hose the other day. O replaced the hose with the small hose that's going to the water bottle as well. I also replaced the water bottle with the switch .
I replaced the radiator switch on the side as well and fan is still not coming on I checked the fuses as well.if I short the switch with a screw driver then the fan comes on

Re: 1.8 Cti overheating
change your thermostat under the water pump. Remember you can't just take it out. You have to put another one back in. It closes off passaways when it opens.

Re: 1.8 Cti overheating
Thanks I have a spare Peugeot switch which they gave me as it's suppose to switch the fan on much faster
Will give it a try tomorrow and let you know
Thanks for the advice

Re: 1.8 Cti overheating
The downside of that is that the fans work themselves to death.

Re: 1.8 Cti overheating
Thanks very much for all your assistance Panic
I changed the switch on the fan and played around with the wires the fan is kicking in often now

Re: 1.8 Cti overheating
Fully agree with Panic on his statement. Check what the Peugeot switch specs are. You will see they run much cooler than VW engines.
