Expand The fans wont come one sooner unless you make them but fair enough. On 22/06/2019 at 9:27 AM, arronm said: Honestly, do you really need me to explain it ???. You are are DIY tuner. Surely you understand why. Expand The reason I'm asking for explanation is not because of a lack of understanding on my part. It's because a lot of people recommend a tune for any minor change and in many cases isn't "needed" but rather could be utilized whether or not the car is modified. In this specific case a tune isn't "needed" but it could be utilized. For better or worse semantics matter more online, especially hard statements such as "you need to xxx".

Expand So now that you have an 82c/180 tune needs to be adjusted to bring the fans on earlier or the new thermostat wont be as effective.
