Hi, Just to let everyone with a similar issue know, I changed the coolant temperature sensor and it solved the problem. The temperature guage now works and the fan doen't come on at start up. Dead easy job, only took fifteen minutes, and the part was about £5 from e-bay. With ref to the Lamdas and the error codes, they're a bit pricey so just wondering, on a hunch, which one would you change, or both, also would it make a lot of difference. Recently passed MOT with fault codes, so no probs there. Thanks, John.

Just thought, now you mention it, yeh, the thermostat only allows water to flow at a certain temp doesn't it? Cheers

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I tried the pedal error code routine and got 0136,0140,0170 and 0115. 0115 Refers to the cts, so that's where i'll start. I've got one on order, due Saturday, so ill fit it and let you know. As an aside how many lamda sensors do I have? There's one near the manifold and one near the flexi joint further down. Are they both 02 sensors? Thanks again

Hello to everyone reading this, hope you are all well. The cooling fan on my 2003 1.8 petrol elegance comes on when I turn the ignition key. (Slow first click, fast on engine start, stops when I turn off ignition) also the temperature guage on the dash doesn't move. I've read through a number of posts here on similar issues and so I think i've narrowed it down to three parts (I've checked fuses 35,39,40 and 50). The coolant temp sensor The cooling fan switch (Don't know where that is yet) The thermostat (Is that a relatively simple job?) Do you think this is the right road to go down? , as none of the parts are expensive i don't mind doing all three. Cheers.
