To tell you the truth, I do not know how many speeds my fan has, I'm glad as
long as it kicks in from time to time. I haven't had too much experience owning
this car during the summer, and we do not have very high summer temps here
either (mostly up to 25c) so maybe it is never warm enough to kick in at higher
speeds. The fan usually kicks in when the needle just passes the LED (RPM
counter style). I can of course remove the light to check out the resistor or
the spare wheel to check out the fan motor.
