OK very recently I had to change the fan switch,(the thermo fan switch that turns on the additional cooling fan in front of the rad).
However not being able to afford or justify the £78 on the Toyota Part I have fitted one that turns on at 90 and off at 85. Original is 97 to 92.
Running a 2.4 I figured that any extra cooling probably is not a bad thing?
Any way have just noticed that after the engine has stopped and I have restarted the engine the fan cuts in during the glow plug warm up time and when the engine is fires the fan stops.
So do you think that it is the residual heat that has yet to soak away from the block that the thermo fan switch is seeing and turning on the rad fan and as soon as the engine has turned over the "cooler" water from the radiator is being pumped over the thermo fan switch and then breaking the circuit and hence turning off the fan ?
As usual your comments and suggestions are welcomed.
