Hello all,
Thought I might reply to this thread instead of starting another one since there is a slight relevance.
Over the last week or 2, my viscous fan has been kinda 'delayed' in its operation i.e. not engaging properly until ocassionally a couple of minutes after the temp has crept up 1 bar above centre.
Just today, right when I got to my gf's house, the fan engaged and stayed that way for a while 'till I switched the engine off. Thought nothing of it 'coz I was on the freeway for about 30km's before I got to her house. Left her house later, clutch fan engaged as I started the car and disengaged as per usual. Started driving... about 5 minutes later, the lil' sucker engaged and wouldn't disengage. Literally the whole 55-60 odd km's home I was driving with the fan engaged 80-100%. I say that cause I could hear the tone of the fan changing even when I am holding the revs.
Now, can I assume that the fan's had it? Time to get a new one? Or is there something I can do to fix it (bash it with a mallet or something?).
Thanks
Yian
P.S. For people who don't know, this is another 7MGTE MA61.
