306 Cooling Fans

Post by demag »

My son owns a 306 diesel (not turbo) w reg with the dw engine 1.9
We bought it as accident repaired. It should have a/c but some pipework is missing and we are waiting for the parts.

In the hot weather it nearly boiled while stuck in a jam. Today we had a look but I couldn't find the thermostatic switch. According to Haynes it should be in the thermostat housing. There are 2 switches there but not the fan switch.

From what I understand the fans are controlled by the Bitron switch but it was starting to get dark and I didn't want to mess about much more.

The car is running fine apart from no a/c and no cooling fans.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks Richard that looks useful.

I had a look under the fan relay cover between the fans but could only see one relay, a shocking purple colour!

I'll have another look in the morning.
