supposibly my fan doesnt work and i was told to replace the switch and i dunno where thats located at. because the radiator pushes the water to the white bottle and i lose water from there which i top up every day first i was told to change the thermostat which i replaced with a genuine one and then i was told to check the water pump which i changed also it doesnt seem to over heat so im really confused in what to do can any of u guys help me out?

check for the fan switch on the back of the radiator (near the lower hose) or the thermo housing.
it will be around there somewhere
your radiator is not leaking? or probably air trapped inside?

atm drive and don't let the temperature go aboe 1/2, max 3/4. Turn you're AC on, so atleast the fan is going, even though is uses some power, but better then no fan.
the switch should be on the left side of the motor, den underneath that grey box where the timing is adjusted for idle. or what blk_shadow said
--[][ motor ]
Like if that makes sense. i was looking for it yesterday, but car was too hot to get underneath all the pipes =_=. have u checked you're fan works yet even?
undo its plugs and connect it to an external battery to see if its working.
atm i'm having the same problem. i was running with no water yesterday so yeh, are u using actual water? i put some coolant thing in it ( no idea )
lol, like when i rev the car, and it heats up, where the water pump (is it the water pump? lol the piping with silver cap thing) it pressurises and bubbles start to come up ( i can see it when i remove the cap), which isn't good.
don't know if i'm helping you, but just telling you what i know

on the eg the thermo fan switch is located on the thermostat housing. follow the bottom hose to the engine.

Hate to bring a dead thread but I think I'm having the same problem. My temp gauge got up to just over half last night so this morning I turned my car on and let it idle for about 10 mins. It got up to half temp Gauge and still no sign of the fan at all. Thinking thermostat. Thoughts? Cheers
