western Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 is it a electric fan assembly or a viscous coupled fan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pupstew Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 its the standard radiator cooling fan i guess, sorry im a bit of a novice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 it'll be a viscous hub the fan is bolted to & it will rotate when the engine runs, you might find this site a useful reference http://www.carbibles.com/ & our great Tech Archive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 You should be able to spin the fan by hand with little resistance. If it's tight or locked up, then a new fan hub is needed. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
