I've removed the standard rad, fan and cowling from the race car. I'm replacing the rad with a Golf GTi one and an aftermarket fan. The standard rad doesn't have a thermo switch fitted, so what sensor/switch activates the fan?
Cheers,
Raz

the 206 don't have any switch fitted on the radiator itself,only the temp. sensor,and the fan relay and ECU controls the fan to kick in.

The ecu uses the coolant sensor to tell how hot it is. If it wants to switch the fan on it triggers one of two relays to switch the fan on.

Ok cheers guys.
As I have an Emerald ECU, I guess the fan temp must be controlled by that

If the original ECU is still in place and has its own coolant sensor it can stay where it is and control the fan.
I've got mine controlled by the Omex ECU and I can control the on and off temperatures.

I'll have to find the lead and plug in for a look, it's been 2 years since I last looked at what the ECU settings are
