Hi
I have a Fiesta 1.3 Duratec engine. The radiator fan keeps kicking in even after a short journey.
I waited with the car idling for a few minutes this morning and the fan did not switch off but just kept running. When I took it back to the garage who fitted the new radiator he warmed the car up and the fan kicked in and then the fan switched off after a minute and he said that was what it should do.
The temp gauge stays at normal.
I am wondering if the sensor is faulty or if the engine really is running too hot.
I know where the thermostat and sensor are and I thought of changing them.
Has anyone experience of fitting them on a Fiesta?
Is it a tricky job?
Thanks
G.
