And it's already at max speed all the time (which is supposed to be the speed off idle), i have been running it this way for a year and a half and never had any issue up until now - and the fan speed doesnt seem to have changed yet since i first installed it so that's the reason i havent suspected the fan yet.

yes yes, air is being pulled in by the electric fan, directed at the engine. That's how it is installed, i made sure of that.

H3 is heated by many. Depends on where it is used. I solved the problem by installing an additional radiator for the automatic transmission, moving the thermostat to the top and installing twin fans from a Chrysler with PWM control. But I plan to install one additional radiator, since the native one is very small for such an engine. So on the same golf course, Land Rover or Audi, there are 2-3 radiators in the system.
I now always have an arrow slightly below the middle. I think that's how it should be. How many cars there were, all of them had an arrow below the middle. What they write in the manual above is the norm - this is the ecology of marketing. It should not be.

Show me what kind of electric fan you have.

How does the efan start? Where is the efan start T-sensor located?

Nope, the secondary air injection system pumps air into the engine's exhaust system when it's cold.

The thermostat should begin to open at 194°. Connect scanner, check coolant temp(make sure below 194°) start engine, let idle, & monitor coolant temp, you should see a drop in coolant temp around 194°. Watching the coolant temp rise, you should see a drop in coolant temp when the thermostat starts to open, letting you know the thermostat is working properly.
