Hi all
Been away from the site for some time due to being the the proud owner of a Nissan skyline R33. This car has taken me away from the Pug which is now needing some TLC....
I was driving home last night in 30 degree heat when i noticed my temp gauge had gone past 100 degrees........ but not quite in the red.Phew!
Popped the bonet and could hear the water bubling in the pipe going to the thermostat housing and the water started to leak out the drain house on the water header tank... After it had cooled I took the thermostat out but that was ok and the rad was hot so thats working. then realised that the fans at the front would not cut in....
Tinkered about for 30mins checking plugs and wires and fans etc.. ran the car up again and the fan cut in at 90 degrees. Sorted.... or so I thought put the car back together again and gave it one last test and NOTHING.. AHRRRRRRR.....
Has anybody out their had this problem??? so many wires and relays and no manual for the 2L turbo.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Greg

Sorted. Had an auto electrician come out and he said both fans had burnt out...
Drilled the old fans out as you cant get to the bolts without removing both rads and the intercooler... silly design...got two new fans from the breakers and fitted them. found one earth wire not earthing so that might explain why the other fan burnt out. car now runs at a steady 80 degrees in all weather.
