95 N Reg 1.7TD Overhtg- Interior fans not working - dac
let me tell you a story !!!

Day 1 AM Driving to work - temp outside below freezing - interior fans blowing cold

get stuck in traffic - temp gauge overheats - try to drive back home - have to keep stopping - call mechanic - hour later mechanic arrives - all seems OK !!!!

mechanic reckons thermostat was sticking due to cold

Day 1 PM Driving home - temp gauge takes a while to get up to normal op temp. - stop for a bag of chips - start up - guess what - interior fans now not working - get home


Day 2 AM start to drive to work - cold outside again - no interior fans working - get stuck in traffic - temp gauge overheats - manage to get home


not driven since for any long distance - however temp gauge does take longer than normal to reach op temp


Please does anyone have any ideas

Thanks

Is the coolant full and does it contain enough anti-freeze?

the interior fans frequently pack up on these. the part you need to replace is in the pollen filter housing . the thermostats comonly pack up as well. the cooling fan should kick in about 99 c
