My Intercooler fan is wired to a seperate switch in the cabin, The Boy will vouch what a difference it makes when its switched on as he was reading the intake temperature on the Tech 1 when we did a trial run, definetly worth doing as just by switching it on once a DAY the  motor has never siezed again!!!

Nice to see you've stolen someone's internet connection Omegatoy :P - how's the weather you lucky sod?

I was going to try and do something clever involving automatically bringin on intercooler below a certain speed when coolant up to temp.  Not sure I can be bothered, and will probably just do similar to yours...

have to admit to shivering in 19degrees today :y having said that it is winter here , though rain is forecast for tomorrow, I have no doubt we will see the sun as well, 8-)
as you know my IC FAN is wired through a relay with a warning light to tell me its on, Easy job for most of the oofers on here :)

Have you bypassed the ECU control to the Intercooler so that it is only manual now?
I'm off to Cleveland Ohio Monday (-10C) but not as cold as Detroit last week (-17C)!!

The ecu does not control the i/c fan - the system ain't that clever!

Its controlled purely by the rad switch

That has always puzzled me :o why have the intake charge temperature controlled by the rad switch? by the time the rad switch turns on the main fan and thus the IC fan the intake temp is to high forgood power anyway :'(

Because its a stupid design!  Not sure it was done for power, and remember early ones have no fan...

We know the reality of having the fan, esp at lower speeds when no other airflow.

However, all Omega tractors are rated at 120bhp...

Got to agree totally with The Boy - change the water pump every three years, or as soon as you buy a 2.5TD. The plastic impeller is a less-than-satisfactory idea, to put it mildly! A failure can be a costly affair.
