I was taking the viscous fan off my old 16v engine to fit to the new one and I made bits of it.... they cost a small fortune new but I found a second hand one on this German site for 50 Euro, Linky seems cheap enough..... anyone ever used this site before? |

That says it's for a 1.8 not a valver. Btw, only the 2.6's have the viscus fan, 4 pots are all electromagnetic. |

16v fan is different to the 8v models AFAIK. As Stu says, no viscous coupling, just an electro-clutch

Are you sure it's not the thermal switch that's faulty? |

erm.... not sure to be honest!I had planned on getting the head taken off & done properly but funds are starting to run low.... maybe I'm mad but I might skip it and only get the shims etc done, new bearings if needed but this won't be done until next month either way, while the engine is out I have a steering box to be fitted, engine bay to be cleaned up & sprayed, I have a replacement bonnet that needs spraying and a new insulation pad, front springs & shocks to be fitted, possibly new wishbones etc cam cover, intake manifold, sump and all the engine pulleys are been powder coated next week, if I had a pile of cash to throw at it then I'd have her back up & running for the summer but it could stretch till next year!! |
