Thankfully we got a year free AA cover when we bought it in November.
It popped when I overtook a lorry. It was extremely warm last night and the car had been in the sun most of the day.
The chap with the AA said the fuse for the fan had gone, and sure enough once replaced, she roared into life and off I went.
It came up as a known issue on his screen. Is there any advice or tips for this situation in the summer?
Or maybe just the original 16 year old fuse just decided it was time to blow and actually that might be all it is Engine never over heated, it was mid point on the temp dial just before I lost drive. I make a point of always glancing at it since we replaced the faulty HCV a few months ago.
Would it actually be worthwhile replacing all the aged fuses do you guys think?
Current state of play is that it is the due cam belt servicing (5yrs 6months) I never use the A/C so I know not of its state. I thought I wouldn't touch it until the cam belt kit was fitted.
The fan is turning freely.
I have found some info on checking sensors so will do a little investigation today. But I am concerned this may happen to my other half over the summer and she gets stuck somewhere.
He stuck a 4amp fuse in instead of a 3 as that's all he had however we now have spare fuses in the glove box.
If I turn the interior blower on, turn it to hot and wind the windows down I guess that will help in the interim. Not exactly comfortable but doable.
Any tips appreciated. I will search the knowledge base see if I can find anything.
