Hi all.
Just had my car serviced today, they said they cannot reset the service notice as it just keeps coming back, and it probably means there is an issue somewhere.
They also said that the radiator fan runs on high constantly. This I had noticed about 4 days before booking it in, it just started.
It came about as I start the car, the fan would kick in and run on low or medium, I thought it odd as it normally would only come on when hot or idling. After about 5 mins of driving the fan stops. been happening for I would say a week now.
Now it seems to kick to high straight away, runs I think constantly until you drive then stops. Then starts again when you stop, but that bit I think is normal?.
I see another thread on here about it, but i think mine is a little different as it does not seem to run always.
So I am guessing this is a temp sensor issue or the resistor pack thing near the radiator. Sure ive found the resistor pack its located on the big plug going to the fan, But it seems to some how slot in and I have no idea how to get it out to inspect it.
So a few questions.
Where is this resistor pack and how the hell do you get it out.?
Where is the temp sensor?
Can i replace these myself, or would it be better to just go to the dealer and have them check it out on the test equipment.
The fan is doing my head in, and the constant ping ping ping please service soon is driving me nuts!. Like every 3 mins.

PS Going to go and try the pedal code trick if it works on the GTC?
