Sup fellas, long time. My car is smelling like burning oil and the radiator fans just keep turning on and off. Even when I shut down the car they keep running a little bit more.

 

yeah mine does that too (the fan thing not the burning oil smell). It was annoying at first now i dont even care.

 

check the valve cove gasket... and as far the fans gooo...... Ponce = heat.... the will go on a lot..

 

thanx guys I just wanted to know if the fan thing was something normal. PR Mivec gracias pa' , un di de estos me das un par de tips q yo me kede en 182 whp

 

ok... thx!

 

yeah i dont go easy on my car thats why i figured that the fans stayed on for a bit more because of the heat.

 

hmm im not easy on my car and fans dont stay on when the cars off.... they fans do go on and off during idle as it should. ive heard that having a hot engine is one of the wost things to have such as when you drive a lot and then park in the garage and having your engine just sit there really hot only cooling down by some air and time. suposedly its a big oven under your hood and corrodes stuff...blah blah i dunno.

 

my car tempertures are always ok , but everytime i turn it off they stay on for like 3 or 5 sec.

 

if your worried about it buy a turbo timer

 

I second that

 

Hey, i know why the fan goes on and off. It's a recall the only things they have to do is a replace of the Fan Computer is plug in and out. The problem is, if you don't see it but suddenly the temp goes up and can be painful for your car. Go to your Service Center to check that. Peace.

 

Short trips and a lot of starting and stopping is the worst, thats for sure.
Thats why Taxi's engines are still great after many 100's of thousands of kilometres (miles too :P) - depending on maintenance and the driver of course, but compared to normal driving for the same km's the engines don't go from cold to driving then to turned off anywhere near as much.
I guess we'll just have to keep driving !!

 

Same thing happened to me (the fans thing) after i went to a warranty recall. I took the car back and said that it was normal. I have been paying extra att to the temp gauge and had no prob. yet!!

 

my car did that a while ago and i took it to the dealer and they replaced the fan timing control or sth like that, it was under warranty
