Overcooling!
Posted: Wed Jul 28, 1999 3:22 pm
I have solved the overheating problem I asked the list about.
I purchased a blanking plate for below the radiator ( from Paul Matty
Sportscars (5UKP)) but haven't fitted it.
I replaced the broken sensor for the Kenlowe fan (25UKP) - not causing the
over heating but a nuisance anyway.
I also had the core replaced with a 3 row core (65UKP).
Jobzagudden (as we say round here).
Around town and in the built-up areas the temperature stays at 89 degrees
unless stationary, in which case the temperature climbs up to the point
where the new Kenlowe temp sensor cuts in at 95 degrees with the fan, when
the temperature is maintained or drops slightly. It then drops back to 89
degrees when I start moving again. Exactly what I wanted....EXCEPT....when
I start going a bit faster, fast 'A' roads or Motorway, the temp drops down
to 80 or even 79 degrees. I am going to have to blank off part of the super
new radiator in order for it to maintain the correct temperature when going
quickly.
