Nanocom Favour ?

[rdw]

Hi Everyone,

Bit of a cheek this, but the financial crisis is kicking in here .....

I have a 2003 D2 TD5 auto. Last February I had an issue with overheating which I traced back to a broken jubilee clip. Fixed that ok, but the cooling fan stays on constantly. This, I believe is because it has registered an overheat fault code.

Now I have the 3 amigos illuminating occassionaly, but becoming more frequent. Is there anyone in the MAIDSTONE, KENT area who has a Nanocom and would be willing to read and reset any fault codes on the Disco for a small fee or beer ?

Many thanks for looking

rdw.

Hi RDW,

When you say the fans on all the time - are you looking at it when the vehicle is stationary? Is it not a viscous fan which will be spinning at low revs.If it's free to spin by hand when the engine is OFF then it is. The 3 amigos is usually to do with the ABS sensor or wheel bearing. A search on "3 amigos" will give you more info.

Regards,

Griff,

The best way I can describe it is that prior to the overheat problem, the fan would come on occasionaly, in say heavy traffic or at the end of a journey, when the car was stationary and the engine was running. It was noticable when it came on as it is quite loud. Now, the fan runs all of the time. I posed the question on here previously and one answer which to my mind seems entirely sensible, was because the ecu had registered an overheat fault, causing the fan to run permanently as a precautionary measure.

No luck with the Nanocom.
