Hi, I hope you can help. Just purchased 1.8se and trying to iron out a few teething problems!

When driving, the car hardly heats up at all (temp gauge about 65), same with oil temp. The gauge is ok as it goes up a bit if the car idles for a while.

I reckon the thermostat is stuck open but I'm not sure how the viscous fan is meant to operate. It runs all the time. Most viscous fans I've seen on other cars do this but the Haynes manual seems to suggest it shouldn't turn at all until about 80 degrees???

(The electric fan does not run all the time.)

Thanks in advance for any advice, Ian
