i dont know. maybe put a volt meter on it and run the car till the fan should come on. when the thermo switch is off the volt meter wont read anything and when it should turn on the meter will beep or show a voltage depending on the setting your on. if it just overheats and no fan going, its a sure bet the switch is broke | |

it could be the thermo switch not working. that should be on the radiator. i had my car 7 months and its never been right now i have a new problem which ya prob read already? i wouldnt bother fitting a 1.6 cos my mates got one and its not great. well it didnt impress me anyway. sounded good round 6k though | |

guna try and get the thermostat out in 5 minutes. Surely this does not explain the fan not coming on though? | |

i only have a 12 16v and on that its a self bleeding system so not to sure mate but the thermostat is behind the cam belt i think and just need to remove the rear cover to get to it? obviously water will piss out when you take it of if you havent drained it already | |

take the thermostat out and try it by putting it in a cup of boiling water and see if it opens | |

i have a corse 1.4 SRi 8v (c14se) and about a month ago it overheated cracking the radiator so i changed the radiator on it and all was good for about 2 weeks. |
