yes that high, it beats my imagination how ford did it. This happened 3 weeks ago. I do not like ford product but that day i develop full respect for for ranger pickup truck.

DECOtech:
Your radiator fan is not supposed to be always on

byna:
If it's ON it won't suddenly get off Co's you re entering a pool that is cool instead I will splash water toward the engine if the fan is low. I once changed the fan on my c-class Co's water entered the electronic control module on the fan which is very low on the engine. Costs #50grand

ironheart:
if my physics is right your wrong, cos the fan wouldnt make a dierct hit to the water. Fluid dinamics will play, uneven surface n water swell will in a way slow down the fan until it stop, being a pool doesnt stop it from cooling the engine.

ironheart:
bmw are just meant for show off. I once wad a ford ranger xlt through water ad high as the window level n a bmw x6 died in that water. I will never want to be in that situation in my life again

ironheart:
the moment you drive into that pool of water, there are chances that the fan will switch off due to the engine getting cool by the pool of water. We all know there is bound to be cooling. Beside its raining n the temp wouldn't be as high as you may want us to think.

Maybe you'd need to switch off the ignition and push the car through.

Let me digress a bit. I was currently @ the bmw 100th year anniversary. Got there at about 12pm. It rained heavily that day. A die hard fan of bmw and also an automobile engineer which we called to know if he was coming couldn't because of the rain. Guess what? He was asking what the conditions of the road were down to VI from me. I could just imagine where he was driving at. He drives a nice bmw 525i 2010. He has been there, tasted what and how it looks like coughing out hard earn cash for a repair he can be quick to avoid. The fear of "eps" on bmw is the beginning of wisdom. Not expensive though just only $5k.

honmusa:
Seems u are more interested in winning an argument than try to see the point I am raising and you never attempt any alternatives to the op question .
Fan ON state is dependent on 2 control :
1.0 Temperature engine control which trigger the fan to work intermittently
2.0 AC control which trigger the fan to work continuously
so tell me which has more influence on the fan .
Let hear your own attempt to the question rather than your attack to another suggestion.

EgunMogaji:
It's a shame that you had to say this to a grown man.

She appeared to me in a dream and threatened to kill me.

It is not her first time.

I was close to several Pastors for prayers but they keep asking me for money. So I stopped calling them.

She won't stop threating my life.

This is a woman who never married or bore children. She has given her womb to the witches society.

I taught as you grow older you tend to be wiser? Holy Moses, never read a stupid post as this before.
1. I don't give a Bleep if you've spent your lifetime as a third class citizen.. it adds no point to your argument
2 learn how to read and comprehend words.
3 Am speaking from a business prospective and not you spending vacation in Nigeria..

honmusa:
the basis of my argument is simple ,if you can help it ,try everything possible to prevent your fan from coming on when you are pulling through a pool of water.

Ezechinwa:
am sure your not up to 18, but from your last paragraph it seems you've never left the shores of this Country, when you are in a country you have to spend that country's currency.
if you invest $10000 in Nigeria, at the rate of #1000 per dollar, when you wish to take your profit back to America , aren't you going to change back the currency?

its either you lack the knowledge to comprehend words or you lack sense.
Yes, people will make profits from this current situation, but do your mediocre and selfish brain tell you that America would wish to be in our shoes right now in terms of the Exchange rate?

The problem with Nigeria is that we have a lot of greedy and selfish people who look and care after their own personal interest. Do you think America would like the exchange rate to be like 410$ to 1naira?

honmusa:
A times u need to think out of the box to understand some concept .The reason u need to switch of your Ac is to prevent the working fan from splashing water into the electrical system or ignition system .
That is why u see a lot of car breakdown more during raining season and you are even at higher risk if you run your fan direct.

honmusa:
what is this about ?what is your argument ,?

cecegorz:
No way I'm buying a new cat in this economy. A quick Google gives costs at approx $1500, with delivery is like 700k.

Second option is the Tokunbo version from Ladipo, which shelf life you Can't determine, as it may also fail within the shortest possible time.

Until there's another reasonable alternative, I'm OK as it is.

Bonshak:
where and how much can i get a fuel pump for Passat Cc Vw AG.England or German products. Thanks.
I think they sell these part in lagos Itere, if spelt right

Mamabigboy:
Hello house! Hope we are good. Please I will be glad if I get suggestions/advice to the problem am experiencing with my car. It has been a week now that my corolla 2007 model suddenly started jerking after 3minutes of steaming, and may eventually go off once I am about to move. After being forced to move, it would become stabilised, once the engine is cool, the problem starts again.
3 different mechanic have come to check, nobody seems to know what the problem is. Did anyone experience this kind of car issue? Can u share wt me how you were able to overcome it. Thanks

byna:
Hello Guys,

I keep on being told that I should switch off the AC esp while entering a pool of water. Has anyone and idea why? Or have you experienced a fault after leaving it on?

I read automobile Eng and so far I haven't read any theoretical backup to this assertion.

Do you have any clue?

honmusa:
I have already mentioned it earlier ,if your ac is on your fan is also working and has more possibilities of splashing water into your ignition system which left u stranded on the road.

Sorry, may be reconstruction is not the appropriate word.
What the panel beater did was cut open the canisters and remove the cats inside, then constructed some flat plates with multiple bores and placed them in stead of another cat. So effectively there's no more cats inside the canisters.

The car is Toyota Highlander.
One of the cats is closer to the engine, the 2nd one at the middle and the 3rd one close to the silencer.

Erico what's funny, most in my age aren't innit generation or born with silverspoon.........you forget say most of us were highly priviledged to grew up in mud houses, which by the way is very cool during the hot weather and warm during harmattan season.....due to a sort of natural airconditioning system already factored in by our ingenius forefathers during construction......and unfortunately an evolution that didnt continue with this our now the what's up! and oyibo made is the best mentality generation.

Unsurprisingly these same mud system of building and thatched roofing are springing up here and there in some European towns. They aren't in short supply in some Welsh, and English villages especially along Holyhead-Chester-London train routes.

Let cement no come down and see whether we can't retrace our mud ideas, afterall some folks here are already tinkering on starting the burnt brick evolution.
