I have had a quick scan through the forum and found bits and pieces but not sure if I have found the right information.
Firstly, temp gauge doesn't work. Pretty 'normal' as far as I understand it. But now have a red warning light blinking intermittently at me. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it does.
Oil and water are no issues but I was wondering about the cooling fans. I haven't 'heard' them running and wonder when they should kick in? Is it when the engine is hot enough and the thermostat opens? Also, was looking at the fans and there are 'pieces' missing on the plastic cover. None seem to be in the fan housing itself. Is that an issue?
Is there a way to turning the fans 'on' to check they do actually work?
Had a heavy drive yesterday, lots of climbing, so would have thought if there were an 'issue' it would have shown itself there.
Just want to make sure I don't have any cooling issues with summer fast approaching!
Thanks in advance.
