If you want some more details I can dig them up.
I think the threaded bung on my radiator already has a sensor fitted. Is this for the ac fan?
As for the probe sensor, the instructions seem to suggest that the wire goes through the actual pipe and is sealed with silastic? Doesn't sound coshure to me.
Are you running the same style sensor Tod?
Yeah you could be right about that, I don't have ac! But if you are going to replace the engine fan with thermos maybe you can use it anyway?
Interesting idea. Does anyone know anything about the ac fan? What temp it turns on, does it only turn on when the ac is on? What size is the sensor thread?
IIRC the Thermostat for the factory fan is 95 Deg.
The "A/C fan" should run whenever the A/C is on or whenever the coolant temp in the Rad exceeds 95 ish degrees whether the A/C is on or not.
If you want to use it just tap into the wire and use a relay to switch the AU thermo's.
That will mean the existing fan will still work as normal.
From memory its M14 x 1.5 and it should have the temp range marked on it, I will check and see if i still have it in the morning.
Yes I've got the same, just went out and pulled mine apart as I couldn't remember.............Quote:
