My 1.6 saloon has been plagued by overheating problems for nearly a year. The Thermostat was playing up – so I changed it. The Fan switch was intermittent – see above. The Head gasket blew – bugger.....see above. The Fan switch plug disintegrated – ditto. The Fan was notchy – you get the idea..........
After all that it STILL overheated alot. Until I had a thought........ The Earth wire from the starter has a break in it (I know this), so that sometimes when I turn the key nothing happens and I have to pop the bonnet and wiggle the wire a bit, then try again. The Fans Earth connects to the same wire......Hmmm ‘If the Earth wire is dodgy between the Fan and the Battery, that would explain alot’ I now have a New 17 amp wire running from the Fan earth to the battery. Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, it Didn’t overheat. In fact, the needle didn’t even get halfway up the gauge! I’m currently touching every piece of wood in the house, hoping that I have now Finally fixed it........
