Dear Rabin and all others,
Thanks for the help. I now have two mails in favour of the fans not
working when the car is switched off and two mails in favour of the
fans working till the temperature goes down. Therefore, the statusquo
continues.. Then, why did my 309 GLD have the fans working after
the switch-off...., so... I also remember this 'fan-continues-to-run-
after-car-switched-off' thing from my uncle's '82 Honda Accord.
I guess the problem in my car lies in the fact that the mechanic has
replaced the original radiator tank where all the sensors are placed
with a copper one (the original, i suppose is plastic) and did not
fit back the cut-out etc.. back in the same position. I will check
with him and maybe get it re-fitted again. (Its just that I am so
used to the sound of the fans working after switching the car off
from my 309, and psychologically, it feels that it is better for the
engine that way, especially in the searing heat of the Indian
summer).
I just did a 70km round trip to my factory with the A/C on full
blast on the expressway at about 100kmph and the temp gauge
stabilised at 80 degrees. That sure seems fine...
Thanks,
