spud Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 The fan seam to be working OK. thermostate is knackered i'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 If the fan is working and making hot air, chances are the rad was too full to begin with. It need expansion room at the top, coolant level just over the coils, or they will expell any excess. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisher Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 The rad was not too full and when i check when i got back to the van there was very little water in. i took the screw out on the side of the barrel and nothing came out.

bobtlr Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 hey, did you ride in map 2? i know a gasgas will boill over when used hard in the wet weather setting so mayby a sherco does this also? my 4t (2007) gets verry hot to fan continuesly running than stops for a verry short while (seconds) and that runs again is thins normal? my cota 4 rt didn' t do this mayby the interval in whith the thermostate switches on/off is to small? regards bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
