Hi Guys,
I'm just recovering my 2000 XJ from the 5th broken radiator in the last 2 years. Official service could not give any solution beside saying they don't have time o deal with such an old Jeep..¿¿?? (they already replaced one on guaranty). Now I decided to put a real Metal radiator, but I'm 100% sure the problem will come again. At this stage, my 2 only possible problems are... a) Engine is sending compression to the refrigeration system and b) A/C is causing the problem.
a) from my ponit of view very improbably....coolant always clear and the problem seems to start from one momento to the other and not from the moment radiator is replaced. b) sometime has make strange noises but then gone. Electric fun NEVER starts as a direct consequence of turning A/C on (just related to Coolant temp)
¿How can I test A/C making elec fan starting? ...I mean independant from Coolant temp?
Tks
