People GT 300i / Re: Coolant Issue

Okay...so I've tried everything that Ruffus has stated and suggested. That fan still wouldnt kick in. How do I know if the head gasket isn't or is blown and needs to be replaced? I don't see any coolant dripping from the head gasket area. This is the only thing that I can think of which will prevent the fan switch kicking in.

My last straw:
-is your repaired coolantpump really working?
There is the chance to block the impeller/bearing by wrong mounting or too much pressure when installing.

Is there the possibility something got into a hose, a piece of rubber etc.?

Open the thermostate housing, take the thermostate completely out, close again and try (pls see pic)

Hello Ruffus. I will give this a shot. I'm pretty sure that the pump is working fine. When i revv the throttle up when bleeding the coolant, the stream pisses out stronger as the rpm increases. I have a new relay on the way. I will give it a shot with cleaning out the thermostat . One thing that I noticed is when the coolant gets hot, the radiator is cool as if the coolant isn't flowing through that area.

Tried everything with no luck. Extremely difficult to pop that bleed screw or hose back on when the coolant is boiling hot.
I changed the thermoswitch. New relay. I'm stomped!

With everything in place, take this two cables which lead to your thermoswitch, off.
-connect them with a paperclip or short piece of wire
-ignition on
-fan kicks in?
If YES, your thermoswitch needs to be renewd.

With interchanging relays I meant, change horn relay with indicator, or otherwise to see whether they are ok, as far possible from connectors configuration.

Thanks very much. I understand now. Will give this a try tonight.

Thanks Ruffus.
Checked the fuses today and all were fine. Not quite sure that I understand you on the relay paperclip test. Can you show me with this diagram attached?

Ok Ruffus and Everyone.

Took some time out of my schedule to further work on my scoot. I bypassed and ran wire direct to battery from fan and it kicked in. So my best guess that it can be the relay or thermoswitch.

Refilling and bleeding coolant is easy when you open the SMALL hose down at the coolant pump until coolant apears.

Q: do you have the front part with headlight off to refill from radiators side?
Filling the expansion bowl only will not lead to sucess.

Ok I see. Yes the expansion tank has coolant in there. I will drain and try again. I have been taking the small hose off the Thermostat housing and waiting for a steady stream of coolant. I've been refilling the radiator yes. Perhaps my error is having coolant in the expansion tank. I will try again this evening after work.

Ok so fan switch not kicking in. Changed the mechanical seal again and it's not leaking. Leaned the scoot on its side to bleed system and the fan switch not kicking in. However when the third temperature bar on the display pops up I shut the engine off. When the engine shut off I hear a gurgle noise as if air is still present in the system. I will do the wire test today to see if the fan kicks in as RUFFUS stated.

..as already said...
Lay the sccot  on its LH side for this enterprise. Refilling and bleeding coolant is easy when you open the SMALL hose until coolant apears.

Test the fan by shorting its plugged two cables  with a piece of wire.
Kicks in.  YES/NO
If NO check connectors on your temp feeler.
This sensor needs a pretty hot coolant to start the fan.

Thanks Ruffus. I will try that method.
Unfortunately my mechanical seal is still leaking. Looks like I have to go back to square one and change the seal again. I feel like crying. Lol.

Well I can't say this fix was difficulty it was surely tedious. After all afternoon of working on this issue, I'm having difficulty bleeding the coolant system. The fan wouldn't kick in at all. The fan kicked in before the fix so I'm guessing that the fan and switch is in working order. What am I doing wrong with the coolant system?
Attached pics of the old seal.

Thanks so much for this Ruffus.
I order those parts. Looking forward to fixing.
Can you sterr me in the right direction to a deep bearing puller? I've searched AMAZON and loads of options.

Thanks

I purchase these 7 years ago and still going strong. No complaints. Super easy to install.

Easy repair if you have tools at hand like, deep bearing pullers and a heat gun (pls see link, maybe helps). Take a whole repair kit, pays off.

Hi Ruffus.
Thanks very much for this info. Do they sell a repair kit? Or di I have to put one together via parts list? Can you let me know which part numbers that I need?

Thanks

Did some research on cyclepedia. Looks like the mechanical seal needs replacing.

Hello Everyone.
Today I jumped on my scoot for the 1st time in a month. Noticed that the overheat bar jumped up to 3 flashing bars on my dash. I turned around went back home and noticed a drip from the waterpump housing. It also appears to be a hole of some sort as if a pressure fitting dropped out ot leaking. I should have been more aware few months ago when I saw everything getting dirty and wet with oil/fluid on the casing. Please see attached video. The cooling fan kicks in with no issues. Let me know what you all think my next move should be. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
