C5 fan keeps coming on !
The engine coolant fan keeps coming on sometimes even when the engine is cold, it stays on for about 15 minutes even after switching engine off. Is this a sensor problem?, I could do with pointing in the right direction. Its the 2005 face lift Lx version. 1.6 HDi C5, this is driving me up the wall. The temp gauge never shows over heating.
Very likely to be the coolant temp sensor then. Does this car have aircon ?
Now using '00 Xantia LX HDI, pov spec

Not sure about the C5 1.6 HDI , but some have a sensor for the temp gauge and one for the ECU which controls the fans. The fans also run for the aircon so try switching that to see if there is any effect on the fans.

Yep, in my petrol Xantia there are 3 of them in a row, green, brown and blue
Edit: The reason why I was surprised, because one sensor should control fan(s) and
another supply temperature data to the instrument panel gauge.
But may be this is different in a diesel model
