Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / June 2006156 Radiator Fan Unit - thermostat built in?
Was half-way through changing the radiator and thermostat(coolant fluid thermostat body), and noticed that as I disconnected the radiator fan from the electrics there were two cables connected to another plug on the fan that wasnt the fan power. Being intrigued I unscrewed the thing and found what looks like a thermostat/rheostat? Is this a local control/override for the radiator temperature? Anbody know what it does? More importantly does anyone know if you can replace it as its definitely burnt out?

Overheat warning sensor, maybe?

Did, or should your fan run after the engine is stopped and car parked? If so this will be an override to ensure engine cools somewhat when parked.

You can buy those as spare parts. Antti 156V6 |
