Hi all,
Went to look a nice willy 3 today. I starded the engine to make sure the fan would kick in. While i was waiting for the engine to reach temp i was looking throught all the paper work and after a while i thought i still dont hear and fan? went to check how the temp was doing and the needle was in the last 1/4 and the fan was not running and the engine was roasting. i popped the bonnet up and turned the engine off and the fan came on? turned the ignition back on and the fan stopped? turned it off again and the fan started back up? The hoses were all rock hard and the pressure was venting through a tiny crack in the header tank.
Anyone have any idea why?
Also there seamed to be oil weeping from the corner of the rocker cover where the distributer is? Is it normal for this gasket to go? or is it somthing worse?
Car has done 84000 miles
