I've got this lil overheating issue with the eg. It only occurs if I'm idle for 5-10 minutes, I'll see the needle start to rise. Could this be a sign of just old/bad coolant? Absolutely no sign of other overheating issues while driving my 50 miles a day in it.

Re: The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.
That's what came to mind as I was typing that out. After the drive home today I'll pop the hood and check it out. That may be a relatively easy fix. It rarely occurs as I'm never really stopped for that long period of time, so I've never given it much thought. However, with the potential road trip it's concerning.Erik95LS wrote:does fan come on?CivicBeater wrote:I'd really feel comfortable taking the R to wilmington but would hate to tack on another 250 miles considering it's already sold.

It'll be fine on the highway with the wind.
I wouldn't drive the ITR either at that mileage marker.

Paperclip the plug at the thermostat housing, if the fan doesn't come on, you will have to dig deeper....

Re: The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.
Hmmm I'm assuming there is somewhere on the housing that is obvious to stick a paperclip in?
EDIT. Fawk, are you guys screwing with me!?

Re: The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.
I was. jack was not. temp sensor on the thermo housing is what triggers the fan so if you bridge that with a wire or paper clip (or tongue) it will complete the circuit turning on the fan or indicating that you're effed in the game.CivicBeater wrote:Hmmm I'm assuming there is somewhere on the housing that is obvious to stick a paperclip in?

Re: The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.
Is there any difference in just letting the car warm up and waiting for the fan to kick on? As stupid as I am, I'll probably be sitting there jumping the MBC.Erik95LS wrote:I was. jack was not. temp sensor on the thermo housing is what triggers the fan so if you bridge that with a wire or paper clip (or tongue) it will complete the circuit turning on the fan or indicating that you're effed in the game.CivicBeater wrote:Hmmm I'm assuming there is somewhere on the housing that is obvious to stick a paperclip in?

Re: The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.
no, but this way is instant and isolates the fan from the thermo switch which can tell you where the problem is or isn't. Check fuses too if you haven'tCivicBeater wrote:Is there any difference in just letting the car warm up and waiting for the fan to kick on?

Ahhh I'm following. Well, I guess first thing is first. See if the dern fan kicks on. Then I'll try jumping the thermo switch. Couldn't I check for voltage i.e. licking the actual fan switch?

Re: The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.
he and I were discussing that and I think it has to be notarized because NC requires that you do. So since it's a NC you have to. I had to when I bought the M3 anywayCivicBeater wrote:Morning.
