#1: how to tell if water pump and rad fan are working- resolved- Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 4:03 am ---- how can you tell if the water pump is working to cool the engine without the dials in by the way, and how long on tickover untill the fan will come on
also with it been a track car how do you remove the thermostat so the coolant is always circulating Last edited by usher on Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:58 pm; edited 1 time in total

No point in removing the thermostat.
You still got air con fitted? Switch it on and the cooling fan should come on at low speed. That doesn't prove whether it works at high speed though.

Have you just removed the pump? If the wiring is still factory standard to the fan then it might switch the fan on when the AC controls is switched on.

i had the car running today for 20mins or so and no fan but coolant hoses warmed up slowly and ended up firm but never noticed anything other than that
