Hi everybody
Hope you are all having a good festive break.
I am a new user and my name is mister p.
My car is c3 exclusive, petrol, on a 10 plate.
I would like to ask a question if nobody minds.
I have anti pollution light coming on/going off intermittently
Also the fan is cutting in as soon as I start the engine (even at this time of the year)
I was wondering if anybody could give me an idea of problem or remedy.
Once again thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help given
Thanks
Mister p

This sounds like a Petrol Engine fault. You can read the codes with a OBD reader from Amazon which may give you codes that can help pin this down, but a proper Lexia system read (tool here) would be the better choice of tool that would give more infornation. But its not easy for a beginner to use a lexia must read topic.

The codes can help identify faulty sensors and ECU faults. Without these you will need to inspect and test each possible component.
