SCR34M Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 hey guy holding the fan with one finger is a bit of a worry is that when the car is at idle then fan slowed down or held down and car started at work the way i test viscous fan hubs as i let the car idle then get a bit of card board to try wedge it to slow it down if it slows down quickly means the clutches inside are knackered prob reason why when acclerator is stabbed the fan is not keeping up with speed of engin just slipping on the spot do the test see how it goes good luck with it mate k i went out there with a bit of cardboard... started the car, popped the bonnet, stuck the cardboard on the fan and took about 5 seconds to stop it, held the fan while i revved the engine, it has a little bit of pull but nowhere near enough to knock my finger of the fan!!

Levi_ Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 k i went out there with a bit of cardboard... started the car, popped the bonnet, stuck the cardboard on the fan and took about 5 seconds to stop it, held the fan while i revved the engine, it has a little bit of pull but nowhere near enough to knock my finger of the fan!! The fan should have heaps of power behind it, or at least mine does.

SCR34M Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) ok replaced the fan hub today, still hasnt fixed the problem, its running a little less than what it was... about 100 degrees... but still thats no good i know, bad for engine n all... going to replace the thermostat tomorrow and hopefully the problem will disappear once n for all... just wondering if anyone knows how to do this... on a 34 btw? Any more input would be greatly appreciated... Guy Also, when it gets hot, the overflow bottle fills right up, is this normal?

hotchoc Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Also, when it gets hot, the overflow bottle fills right up, is this normal? yup that's correct - happened to my bunky before. the overflow bottle was boiling hot. End up was a 1. damaged thermostat 2. something was stuck in the radiator - ended up flushing it problem solved Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241325-water-pump/page/2/#findComment-4386823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
