maddmark1981 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 When I'm driving it sounds like my fan is constantly running but it's loud and makes my Pathy sound like a dinosaur!! Rawwwwww!!! It only used to do this typically only after first starting it up, sometimes it would run a bit longer on the cold mornings but it always used to settle down after 30seconds or so but now it's on ALL THE TIME! Can anyone tell me what I have to do to fix this? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmark1981 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Is that a big job? do I need to take out the rad and fan? ETC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 no need to remove the radiator, just the shroud. Unclip the lower part of the shroud, take out the 4 screws or so holding it to the radiator and remove the shroud. Then take the fan out by removing the 4(?) screws holding it to the water pump pully. That will get you the fan and clutch so you can replace it (a few screws onto the blade assembly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmark1981 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm told I should replace the water pump and timing belt while I'm at it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 If the water pump is leaking then yeah replace it. I thought most water pumps came with the fan clutch ad part of the whole assembly or maybe you can buy them separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 the water pump does not have the fan clutch, just a disc to mount the pulley and fan on. No need to replace the water pump and timing unless you really need to. The replacement of the fan clutch is minimally invasive and to get to the water pump etc is MUCH more work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
