I'v only had my 2ltr petrol Accord for a couple of months so still finding my way around it. Yesterday while checking antifreeze and washer fluid in readiness for the predicted bad weather ahead. I noticed that at short intervals the fan would repeatedly kick in for a couple of seconds even though the the engine wasn't warm.
The temperature gauge holds steady just below mid range when I'm driving.
With other cars I'v owned the fan doesn't kick in until the engine reaches a specific temperature.
Is this normal with Honda's or do I have a problem ?
 
Are you sure it's the cooling fan and not the AC fan?
 
Thanks for your quick response Simon.
My first thought was - As if I would have the air-con on in this weather ! But after a quick look I now know having the heating is set to AUTO activates the A/C. :blush:
