White_vts_boy Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I've just had my gearbox replace on my 2003 wrx which also required getting the front bumper to get it recovered to a local garage since getting the car home the cooling fan is constantly running even when the ignition is on but the car isn't started! And runs from stone cold! Any advice welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Had this once on a astra. I think it was the fan switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Is it actually constantly running or is it cycling on and off continuously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Thermo/fan switch broken or coolant temp sensor gone wrong are the usual culprits Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_vts_boy Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Runs constantly even if the car isnt started its running when the ignition is ongoing my head in now! Sick! Cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 You could try checking if they've remembered to reconnect the gearbox earth as if not it might affect the engine loom earth . Also on classic wrx's /uks they only have one fan but the loom has 2 plugs (1 extra for the sti twin fan models ) . Maybe if they've plugged the fan into the wrong plug it might cause it to run all the time ? Are your running temps normal and are both the top and bottom rad hoses getting hot . Cos if not it could be a air lock or sticky thermostat. Although they shouldn't have to drain the coolant to change a gearbox [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
