Radiator Help

[secubis3]

Just got a new radiator but I have been told I need a Cooling fan switch?????

Can I use the old one and if so how does it come out? She is in the drive and in bits and need help.

Cheers

Hi, you should be able to use the old one, they are generally held in by a small plastic locking collar that you just push and twist half a turn to unlock, the switch its self then just pulls out and is sealed by a thick rubber grommet.

There are possibly a few types depending on whether the rad is genuine so if yours is different try posting a picture and see if we can help.

Yes you can use the switch from your old radiator. You should have got a new sealing washer and possibly a new retaining ring with your new radiator.

Pop the bonnet and lean in to look at the back face of the radiator. On the drivers side near the top there will be a small sensor with two elecrical connections to it. Pull these off and then turn the outer locking ring anti-clockwise to relase the locking ring then pull the sensor out and refit it to your new radiator (using a new rubber seal if you can because sometimes used ones can leak).
