Radiator fan

Hi,

The radiator fans are running all the time on my new Civic 1.8 while ignition is switched on when engine is cold and not running. This doesn't seem normal, but Honda is known to have some weirdness so I figured I ask here before taking it to service. This can't be normal, is it? :confused:

Are you sure you are not confusing this with the aircon fans? There is a constant fan sound on my car, I put it down to the aircon, periodically the noise gets louder, I suspect the compressor is not working continuously or that is the radiator fan kicking in every now and then.

Is that a similar thing to you are experiencing? If so either you have nothing to worry about, or we both have a problem

Yeah, there are 2 fans, one for engine coolant and one for the air-con system.
