Hi everybody,
Time to ask for some technical expertise regarding my LCR.
I noticed that the auxiliary water pump wasn't running when I switched the ignition on, or when I stopped the engine. So I checked out the wiring and looked to see if 12V was being supplied to the aux. pump - it wasn't. (I checked the pump with 12V direct feed and it's also not working, so that's being replaced too.)
So I ordered a fan controller unit - a Febi Bilstein one, as it was £30 compared to ~£165 from a dealer for a genuine one.
I have fitted it, but now with the engine running (cold) and the air conditioning set to "LO", the small fan pulses between full speed and off, whereas I'm pretty sure it didn't do this before.
So my questions are:-
1) Has anyone else used one of these Febi fan controllers before, and if so was it any good?
2) Do I have a low-speed-fan issue (as per the FAQ Section), or is it the fan controller?
3) Has anyone successfully fixed the aux. water pump circuit in the OE fan controller?
All help and guidance gratefully received!
