2012 V50 1.6 drive cooling fan/over heating
Hello, have an issue where my V50 started to overheat, temp gauge rose above centre and a whiff of steam from header/expansion tank. I immediately turned on cabin heater which lowered engine/coolant temp.
Car occasionally overheats, steam from, now split, expansion/header tank and cooling fan does not appear to operate, temp gauge no longer goes above half way for some reason. The fan spins freely so is not seized, and I have also replaced thermostat and temp sensor. Running car with heater on permanent so as summer (??) approaches can get quite warm. Thankyou. |
Does the fan engage? if your car was overheated the fan should run for a few minutes after the car was shut off. If not you may need to check the relay, connectors and even bypass the relay to see if the fan motor will spin the fan.
