I have a 1.2L 8valve corsa and I want to know when does the fan really starts cause I never heard it running and the car always reach 100 Deg when waiting in traffic. The fun is ok cause I test it shorting the wired going in the thermostat.
Thanks

ok found out for who ever might need this information...on petrol versions the fan switches on exactly on 100 and it put the temperature down but 1 or 2 lines depending on the temperature on that day...

I was told that there are many versions of switches according to their colour code the temperature is set to open the fan.

BDW mine is a black one with 2 wires. Therefore a black one opens at 100 degrees.

It all depends on the switch. My old 1.2 16v switch kicked in at 96 degrees
