Someone with an R33 - can you help?

[locutus_of_bris]

I am chasing a fault (well i think its a fault) in my air con system. I need someone with a R33 to let me know if the fan on the front of the condenser runs whenever the air-con compressor is clutched in. My fan never runs, but i need to make sure of when it should run before i rip anythine else appart (its far enough appart already).

Thanks in advance

Cool. Thanks people. I will go out and let it run and see if/when it fires up. dont want to take it appart any further unless i know what it SHOULD do.

Cheers

Hi Crooser. Yeah, I have checked wiring from fan bacl to the fuse and relay in the engine bay, and have the dash partly dismantled and about to go into the loom and dash fuse box. So far it looks normal, but I need to know when it should turn on and off. From how it is setup I would expect it to run with the air-con compressor, but it is labeles radiator fan so could be temp. Just ran it for 20mins and car gets to half temp and stays there but fan still never runs, and didnt run at the track day after racing. What I really need is to find someone who has seen their fan run or knows when it should. I could be chasing a non-fault yet and dont want to go too deep before I can confirm when it should be on.

Sorry for the ramble. When I do find out I will post anyway, so we all know what to expect.
