Well here goes, i was driving from home to Albion Park today (15 mins) and noticed that my temp gauge was reading a little higher than usual (just over half), but i thought nothing of it. Then when i was driving to work this afternoon (30 mins) the temp went up to just over 3/4.
I have owned the car for about 4 months and this is the first time this has happened.
The water level is good and overflow bottle was full (max line), theres no oil in the water or water in the oil and theres no visible water leaks, the radiator cap seems to be ok and the water pump is pumping i think.
The car is running a thermo fan and it is working (was in the car when i bought it) but for some reason it was spinning the wrong way (blowing instead of sucking), it has never gotten hot before.
I tried changing the polarity of the fan and it will suck but i don't know why it hasn't overheated before.
Is there any thing that can automatically make the fan spin backwards?
Has anyone experienced this sort of problem before?
Thanks David
