    Hi The temperature gauge needle drops off to the left moments after the engine starts, which i think then causes the two fans to start (including fan 2 even though the air con is off). The gauge appears to be working while the key is turned to the 'battery' position. Would be very grateful

  • Ford Galaxy (1995 - 2006) - 01 1.9 TDi, cooling fan won't stop 17 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    The cooling fan just keeps running even when the engine is shut off and will keep going until the battery is flat. I suspect a stuck thermal switch somewhere from my experience with previous cars. I've just got the Galaxy so I'm not familiar with its systems. The model is 1.9 TDI year 2001.
