i notice this problem last year but thought nothing of but a couple of weeks ago i had a tow bar fitted and when towing the caravan i noticed the engine was getting warm
90 degrees on the gauge it usually sits bout 85 so i have had a look and i think the electric fan isn't coming on i have been told how to check it but i need to know where to look to find the switch so i can bridge it.it has air con.

ALMOST sure the fan doesn't kick in till nearer 100 on that car , could be wrong . No switch on side of radiator ?

yes 90 degrees seems ok to me most cars run at that temp i believe the cooling fans are ecu controlled just make sure you check coolant level each week
