My 1997 202 with air conditioner and a electric cooling fan had engine over heating problem recently. The water pump was replaced with a new one last week. Now with the air conditioner off and idling starting from a cold engine, the electric fan does not cut in until the temperature meter reads above 95 deg C. The fan seems to run at low speed when it cuts in. Also tried switching on the air conditioner idling with a cold engine. The fan cuts in immediately. The car now runs at about 95 deg C as compared with slightly above 80 deg C before. The fan and the fan control units were replaced about 60K KM ago.
Is the fan cutting in at 95 deg C normal? Is the electric fan or the controller on the way out? Is the themostat the culprit?
Thanks in advance
