fan clutch problem
Hy,
i have a 1993 220 ce 4 cylinders
i observed my fan clutch behavior and i saw that it's different from the one on a bmw 318 1992, the one of the BMW disconnects the fan when the car is cold & on high RPM u can feel it easely coz the fan doesn't throw too much air u can even stop it!!!
so i thought that the one on my benz was not ok and it was connecting the fan in a contenious manner, so i bought a new one and i changed it but unfortunatly i didn't feel the difference it's still not like the bmw's
is it normal to act like this!
coz i live in the mountains and i get down to the city every day so on my way down the temp gauge shows 40 all the way down, seems like the car doesn't warm up until i hit the traffic jam, i checked the water temp valve it shows 87 that means that it doesn't open and circulate water until it reaches 87 degrees
so why the car doesn't warm up?
it's not very good coz the car consums much gaz on low temp, it should be up and stable around 80 i guess,...
thanks for any help
coz i want to know if it's what happens with all other cars or is their something wrong with mine...

40 !
you are so lucky
i do not think that there is a problem with the fan clutch jokove
it's NORMAL ...
- is the electrical fans working on fast or normal speed ?

no the electrical fan doesn't start until the temp reaches 90 or if i turn on the ac so practecly it doesn't turn on in winter
i had my radiator cleaned 2 weks ago, not from the inside but from the outside
u should see the dirts that came off
the temp cut down to the middle
this is when i realised the fan clutch problem
