Hi ALL
Finally come across from our brother site!
A question about thermos, should they run all the time on low? With an outside temp of about 16 both of mine seem to run on low. Is this normal as the temp on gauge is not even in the 1/2 setting of normal. I thought they would only come on when needed. thanks

Dark Horse,

I'm wondering if it makes a difference for cars running climate control ala Fairmont?

My mates VS Berlina always had a fan running because they didn't turn the CC off. Can anyone clear this one up?

If you run climate control all the time, turn it off and see if that makes any difference!

Yeah, climate is off, sussed that one out as climate runs air/con therefore fans. I understand that ecu has some input and controls when they are needed. I changed the coolant two weeks ago and cannot recall if the problem was there then. Thanks
