Dumped Coolant Advice Please.

Hi All,
MG ZT 190 V6.

Car had low battery, so left ticking over. After about 15 - 20 mins dumped all coolant...Cooled down would not start. Topped up water, it started. Now noticed fan is not turning. Demist test...No fan...Took bumper off, did demist test spun fan by hand and it started turning slowly...Would that be fan motor? Also EML on and saying check engine Help please....Thanks.

So no low speed. Is it the earlier 3-speed or the later resistor type?

If 3-Speed

Try here:https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=192903
If that don't work, the fan must be replaced. Get a 2-speed type, either a second hand MGR one or an aftermarket type.

If 2-Speed

Replacement, uprated resistors are available from forum traders, ebay and electonics outlets (like Farnell, RS Componets).

Thanks T-Cut...New fan ordered...Does EML / Check Engine go off after refit or is that T4 Job ?

I reckon the EML will sort itself out after a few 'proper' runs.

A battery charger is 50 times cheaper than running your engine.---

Besides, your battery needs 24 hours min on a charger.----
