its just the same as before, the fan kicks in at about 97, brings it down to about 95 but once im moving it just runs pretty cool anyway, motorway driving it will be under 90, town driving, about 92, thats with a new thermostat in too

Fixed it now, just replaced the fan switch and put a new plug on the wire as the contacts were a bit corroded on the original

i had this problem aswell and after changing the fan switch, changing the temp sensor, checking voltage, checking everything basically, it still wouldn't work.
i just put the fan on a manual switch and wired it upto were gsi's have the front fog switch. fused it under the scuttle...

careful not to thread it when removing/fitting the new one. it seems people do this quite easily as it's in an awkward position.

Look down the left hand side of the radiator, theres a plug with wires going into it thats the fan switch.

I had the same problem, was the fan switch. Cost about £8 for a new one iirc, its a plug on the left side of the rad.

The cooling fan on my 1994 corsa sri (1.4 8v C14SE) has stopped kicking in... its fine while driving as it runs at around 90 degrees anyway but if im sat in traffic it just gets hotter and hotter and the fan doesnt work.
I have tested the fan direct to the battery and that works fine.
Ive checked the fan plug with my multimeter and when it gets to about 95 degrees it shows 13v
so something is telling it to work but could it be possible that there is a relay thats not working properly?
I am a bit lost with this one :/
