It started of as no cool ar coming out.  Then the car will overheat if stuck in a jam. Sent the car to air cond specialist and found out that the aux fan in front of the radiator not automatically switch on, that's why no cool air. After much checking and inspection, can't get it to switch on as it should be. The above scenario is dangerous especially when you are stuck in a jam as when the aux fan is not turn on, your engine would risk overheating as the fan is not on to cool your radiator. May not be a problem when your car is cruising as the incoming air from the front grille will be able to do the job of cooling your radiator. What I do now when stuck in a jam and when you sense that hot air is blowing out from your vent (that means the aux fan is not on), is just to step on your accelerator (of course by first switching to N gear or by stepping on the brake with another foot). I found that once you rev the engine a bit, somehow or rather, it has the effect of switching on the aux fan. Cool air will then come out. Your radiator will get its much deserved air and ventilation. No more overheating issue. So when I go up Genting, I will still switch on the air cond. Otherwise, with the air cond off, the aux fan may not operate and overheating of your engine would be a real risk. :smokin:</blockquote>
