nicwan8 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 but the radiator gets hot and the heaters n things are hwould they still do that if the thermostat was faulty cheers mateReally hard to say. SorryEven if the fan is "broken", happen to me before, the water pump should be pumping the water around the radiator system.So, I would change the cheaper option 1st; thermostat then faulty wiring of the fan then finally water pump if it's failingIf u r not mechanical minded, get it looked at asap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 is the bottom rad hose "cooler" than the top one?for the coolant temp sensor ^ follow the bottom hose to the block its the green coloured one also the thermostat is held on by 2x 10mm nuts its literally takes 5 min to take out and replace.
