hi members,

I own this sexy nissan R30 hatchback now for over a year and have a lot fun with her.

I just came back after a 5.000 km trip trough australia... she did well.

I just noticed that back in sydney the temperature get unusual high (it's showng over the

middle @ the gauge) I checked the coolant water and it's fine. I noticed that the fan is running

until the normal engine temperature is reached. than the fan stops working... ?!?!?!

so because I'm not a mechanic, I would guess it's the temperature sensor or something.

someone has a idea what it could be ? and how I could solve this problem ?

I just changed the fuel injectors and done the oil / air filter change along with the spark plugs.

so the car runs like new, she got aswell new tyres and rego, so I don't want to loose her :-)

Hey mate

I'm not familiar with the L24 but if it is running a thermo fan then it will only come on for a short period of time after the engine temp has been reached and then continue to turn on/off whilst driving. If it has a clutch fan then its most likely stuffed.

hope this helps you out mate.

I've had four MR30/RMR30 and not one of them has ever got to even half way up the temp gauge. I've never had an overheating problem either. Just keep the radiator clean and filled with good quality coolant.

I don't recall the RMR30 having an electric fan for the radiator, only the A/C...

If so, I suggest you check the temperature of the radiator vs the lower thermostat housing - if there is a large difference, then you could have a jammed thermostat.

Or, all other potential cooling system issues aside, the gauge sensor could be crook. They are only around $20 from memory, but can be a bugger to remove due to corrosion.

thank you guys,

I found the problem.. ! I'm bit a idiot, the 12V fan is for the AC. I switched the AC on and the fan

started working... and it isn't the sensor as well , I just had air in the coolant system and the coolant water got to hot and evaporated.... lucky that I diden't blew the head-seal... :-)

we germans invented the car, but sometimes we are just stupid... :rolleyes:

thanks for the comments.
