Re: Idle drops when radiators fans come on

Yeah my temp sits just under half too all the time and I’ve sat in some serious queues like 30 mins stop start to get into some events never had the fans come on in normal driving conditions though. Would you have a diagram or pic of what I’m looking for please?
