On my M44, the fan comes on quite regularly, gets to operating temperature much faster than the M42, and it seems to run a touch hotter than the M42.
Just seems to me like the M42 has better cooling than the M44. |
Perhaps on the Ti, I know I had a BIG scare last summer here on a 105+ degree day and my 10 mo old fan clutch decided to give out on my 318ic. Looked down and was at 3/4 and rising on the temp gauge and away from home on a Sunday. As such, I wanted to ensure all cooling items on this ti are solid.
On my other M42, I swapped every hose to not have any unexpected supprises. Lotsa hoses. Looks the same on the ti. I know I can delete some hoses, however, it's not a big expense to keep it stock. I replaced the fan clutch too, but I reckon I got a bad one...
L.A. gets almost as hot as Sacramento in the summer. I'm supprized yours dosent come on more often, unless you run the A/C during those months...
I just checked and my fan does turn on with the A/C. I'll have to confirm if the cooling fan does in low and high speed modes. I also have to straighten up my garage so I can find my E36 Bentley manual to identify the right fan relay...
