Eskimo Neutral Newbie September 9, 2004 Author Share September 9, 2004 Sent the car to SA to resolve the engine overheat problem on Monday. Will be collecting it today. SA added one fan to the radiator. Will try to get myself stuck in traffic jams to see if that did the trick. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear September 9, 2004 Share September 9, 2004 What fan did they mate it with? I hope it is a Spal. These are superduper powerful fans from Italy. Else, there is a fan from US that is miles ahead in terms of technology. Variable blade pitch cooling fans. Stuck in traffic jam? Blades increase pitch and speed for more air. Racing up the highway, blades pitch down and lower speed. Neat and EXPENSIVE STUFF! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic September 10, 2004 Share September 10, 2004 tink he oso knows the name of the guy who assembled the fan and his 3 closest relatives as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Neutral Newbie September 10, 2004 Author Share September 10, 2004 That was the third time I brought the car in for the overheating issues. This time I even attached a letter, stating the problem , when it happened , my inconvenience and concern, to the Service form. Anyway I did not realize there is enough space to put in another fan. If I am not wrong, one blow in, the other blowing out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you bro I think from now on, your overheating problems should be over Hmm......I think all Chevy owners should go look under their bonnets to see if they have two fans, if not, time to go SA bang table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sotong_kia Neutral Newbie September 12, 2004 Share September 12, 2004 (edited) My Optra got 2 fans.. but is for the Aircon.. I tried turning off and on my aircon.. both of the fans will turn on and off together.. Edited September 12, 2004 by Sotong_kia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aveo_powered Neutral Newbie September 13, 2004 Share September 13, 2004 As long as you have two fans, you are safe. One is for the air-con and one is for the radiator. Yes, both fans will turn on and off together when you switch on/off your a/c, that is normal. Try running your engine to its normal operating temperature with your a/c on, and then switch off the a/c while leaving the engine running. At this point, both fans should be working.

Sgrac3r Neutral Newbie September 16, 2004 Share September 16, 2004 huh? both fan off when you off the air-con? are you sure? though the radiator fan must always on, or the engine will get over heat espacially you caught in the jam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie September 16, 2004 Share September 16, 2004 even with aircon OFF, the radiator fan will be working once the engine temp is reached. and with the aircon fan ON, both fans would run together and cut off together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Neutral Newbie September 16, 2004 Author Share September 16, 2004 No, I don't that is the problem because Starsauto have checked them on 3 different occasions and found that to be not the case.
