Hi, I have a Peugeot Partner 2003 1.9d. I have observed that over a while, the low speed fan kicks in at an ever increasing temperature. Currently it kicks in at 98-99 degrees whereas when I got it 7 years back, it was at 95 degs. I change coolant every 20k kms, radiator is new, fan is new.

Have you checked your thermostat ?

Thanks, thermostat is currently not installed, I removed it when housing started leaking last year but I intend to replace it soon. Could it be the cause? By the way what is the low speed fan temp threshold?

Its been a long time since I had a 1.9, I can't remember the details so I hope this is correct, when the thermostats on some cars open, they also restrict the flow to the 'short circuit' ensuring coolent flows to the radiator.
I would put in a new 'stat first to see if it makes a difference before tearing the engine apart.
