Volvo radiator fan

My fan has stopped working when it gets hot in standing traffic. Changed the fan but still does not work. But works with direct power? And should it push or pull air in the engine bay?

It should be pulling air into the engine bay. If the fan still doesn't work after being replaced ; check (temp sensor) and fan relay.

This is probably a clutch problem on the compressor, either buy a new clutch or get a second hand compressor and swap the clutch over.

Had this same problem with a 2001 v70. Dealer needed to download new software to the computer. Took about 20 minutes and solved the problem. (The problem happened at 10 degrees below zero and I went in to see if they could tell me where the fuses for those circuits were located.)

Unfortunately the sofware re-load was not cheap.

SOURCE: ENGINE MISFIRE AND SHAKING

check your wire harness on the top of the engine. Volvo must have bought harnesses from Mercedes. The insulation just cracks and disintegrates, then the wires short. Not good for an ignition system.Once they short It can fry the circuit for that cylinder in the computer. Does not set a code other than Misfire.

First check if you have enough coolant in your car. If it's low, it might not reach your system. When the engine is off it should be just under MAX.

check to see if your cooling fans are working because when they dont work, your air will blow nice and cold when driving but will be hot air when stopped in traffic.

My engine temp gauge goes way up when the car is stuck in traffic, when I begin to roll the temperature gauge goes back down. I assume that this is a sensor issue, can this be changed easily?

I would assume that the sensor is probably doing EXACTLY what it is designed to do....measure engine temperature! An engine will get hot when sitting in traffic if the radiator cooling fans are not working. The engine temperature will then go back down when the vehicle starts moving and air begins to flow through the radiator.
Get your radiator cooling fans checked!

this car is equipped with an electric cooling fan, best guess is it is not working, that is why it gets hot when idling or driving around town in stop and go traffic. but when you get out on the road it cools down because their is more air moving through the radiator. the fans should come on at around 222 degrees take a look i bet they are not coming on at all.

u should check for a faulty thermostat first, they are only a few quid and easily replaced. if no change ur most likely faults are a blocked radiator or faulty water pump. u dont sayhow old ur van is but after the thermostat go to the radiator, when its hot check the bottom of the rad to make sure its hot, also brown water means u need to bback flush ur cooling system. even tho u have changed some sensors doesnt mean u got the fan switch sender, dash board sender and fan sender tend to be different sensors, so just double check.

Jump a wire from the battery to the hot lead on the fan -- see if it turns -- if it turns, check the fan relay.
