Citroen xantia 1.9TD unpredictable Blower fan characteristic, looking for a Remedy, please help.
Problem: Temperature rises gradually if I drive more than 50 KM distance continuously.
Action Taken So far:
1. Change the coolant expansion tank cap to avoid any coolant leak while coolant very hot with great pressure.
Still the same problem Exists.
2. Flush radiator and change the coolant.
Still the same problem Exists.
3. Radiator Mechanic advice to check the blower fan irregularity.
Symptoms: After on the ignition, and on the air condition the blower didn?t turned on, but after few minutes, two blower starts to run. Off the car and redo again the same, blower didn?t start instantly. After some time both fan turns on. Run for a while and driver side fan only working other side not working. So the radiator specialist suggests its blower fan problem. Blower fan didn?t help to cool the engine. Causing temperature went high.

I will assume your problem is with your radiator cooling fans as most cars only have one blower fan. I must confess I do not know the Xantia but I have had similar problems on a Peugeot 406 TD and I believe the system is the same.
The Peugeot always runs both cooling fans at the same time, it makes a low speed by putting the power through the fans one after the other so each has 6 volts. With your air conditioning on, the fans should be working even if the engine is cold.
The most common problem is the connections to the relays - there should be three. On the Peugeot they are behind a cover between the fans, they are green. If these appear good examine the connections to the fans and the wiring.
