Hi
The Ventilation-fan is running even with my Engine is off, I heard
that it can be even the Fan-relay or the Fan-Feeler or what it is
called the thing that automatically switch Fan on and of.
Is there a Possible way to find out which one have to be changed.
Where exactly is these to things loacted on the Fan and is it possible
for a person with none mecanical qualifications to change theses
things.

Thanks in advance for the information.

It is normal for fans to run on when the engine and radiator are hot to cool
things down. They should then go off when the temperature has dropped. As it
has been very warm lately is this the problem you are experiencing.

On our 306 this was caused by a dodgy contact on the thermostat cable -
50p for 2 new connectors and an hour of labour to find the fault! Key
symptom was that the fan would run on even if the engine had been
started and stopped a few seconds later.

Fine
This is the way I have used to test that the fans are working. When you
remove the connector the fans should come on slow and then at full speed.
