Temperature sensor faulty?

Post by Gazzaman22 »

C5 II 5 DOOR SALOON 1.6 HDi 110 particle emission filter (DV6TED4) Manual gearbox 5

Hi, would I need to change my temperature sensor, cooling fan runs at such odd times, started up the car the other morning and it was running after 1 minute.

Suggestions welcome, as to what might be causing the issue, is it easy to change?

Thanks

Be aware that the radiator cooling fan will engage when the Air Conditioning is active - which is normal. You can rule this out by manually turning the A/C off using the A/C button on the climate control panel. If the engine is cold and you have the A/C switched off, then the fan shouldn't be on immediately.
