havent looked. but i dont think it will say what temp it kicks in. just how to remove and refit.

does haynes say?

ages back on CS. i know 1.4 16vs kick in at 100c coz mine does too. but sum1 sed their 1.2 kicks in at about 90ish. can any1 verify this?

should be universal I think, well the nova ones are.

Where did you get the info about the temps and when they come on?

the fan switch then. thanx for the clarification. well that thing. can ya not change it so the fan comes on earlier ?

its the fan switch, a temp sensor in the rad. The themostat sits at the top of the rad, it keeps the rad closed until the engine has reached a certain temp, then opens the rad so it can cool down. It helps the engine warm up quicker.

that thing which heats up to a certain temp then makes a connection for the fan to come on. im sure its ther thermostat. is it not?

are you on about the thermostat or the fan switch?

but its shit

not sure mate, im sure vauxhall knew what they were doing when they designed it!

use a thermostat from a 1.2 in a 1.4 16v.....

coz in a 1.4 16v, the fan kicks in at 100c, and in a 1.2 it kicks in about 95c. SO if i put a thermo from a 1.2 into my 1.4, will it kick in at 95c and keep my engine cooler?

good idea if it works

it looks well dodgy when the needle goes all da way to 100c!
