HI Deek,
if the fan and temp sensor work on only one speed.....
that should be fine for most situations.
it is good to 'make sure' that it works............like it should......let
it idle until the fan comes on, then runs a while, then cycles off.
( check what the temp gauge reads while you're doing that check ........like
to see it at 50 to 55 % deflection.........on the LED, or even slightly to
the right.)
yes, if you replace the temp sender in the radiator ( which can almost take
a special socket btw ) ........
one would need to bleed the cooling system at the radiator after
that........
but it's not difficult or tricky or mysterious or anything like that.
Some people are 'more worried' about bleeding the cooling system then they
need to be, in my opinion.
