#1 Otter switch - operating temperature

Post by ChrisC » Thu Sep 01, 2011 12:54 pm

Does anyone know at what temperature the otter switch is supposed to turn the fan on? I havnt let my car get above 75 degrees yet and have a floor based external fan pumping air into the engine bay whilst i am setting the engine up so I am just interested but dont want to test it yet...

Hi Chris,

Mine start the fan at 70/72 deg, on a 3.8 but 4.2 should be the same ?
