CSR 200 coolant temp

[tbird]

Has anyone fitted a Fan override switch to a CSR, it has never overheated as such but as climbing to 110 when stuck in traffic jam on autobahn I was getting a bit twitchy and would like to be able to pre-empt swtch on , car normaly runs at 80-83 with fan switching in at around 100 (all reading from stack dash)

presume fans are switched by ECU so would dumping relay to earth via switch potentialy damage ECU

 

would it be possible to adjust via ecu, its the standard ecu AFAIK

 

any thought gratefully received

Hi Tim,

 

Not on a CSR, but this thread may be of help here and here, or here.

 

Tim, my CSR sits normally at ~70c, rising in traffic to about 90c when the fan cuts in and cools down to ~80/85c. No stacks, simply on the gauge.

 

Good luck with the switch.

cheers Rob, mine behaves similarly but about +10 compared to yours, that could possibly be difference between gauges I suppose, as I say not had a problem, but just thought a fan switch may be a good Idea, save me worrying, seem to remember someone, maybe Hanns Per saying his regularly ran at over 100.

and thanks for the links,
