Emily, Does your van have A/C? Even of the belt is off the compressor, the fan in the grill will come on once power is applied to the ignition system. Someone correct me if I am wrong. This is what my '84 Westphalia does.

Greetings,

I hope this is an easy diagnosis - my radiator fan comes on as soon as I start up the van or even just turn the key to the 'accessory' position.... If someone can diagnose this little problem I would appreciate it very much! Then, of course, I'd like to hear opinions on whether I can fix it myself - I have very little mechanical experience (I've changed oil, replaced a leaky radiator hose (*not* a Vanagon's!) but that's about it) but I'm eager to learn.... If this is something I can try to fix, I'd love to know where in the Bentley it's described....

Thanks much! Emily Goodin Boulder, Colo. (the land of the Vanagon - I see at least 5 every day) '89 Westy, "Blauevogel" (bluebird)

P.S. In case anyone remembers that I wrote a while back asking about idle seeking & bucking, here's an update - my hubby did the capacitor fix but we haven't driven it enough to test the result, and our mechanic adjusted the CO (noticed it had never been adjusted) and I don't know if it's related to the adjustment but the idle is better.
