Radiator fan replacement

[darich]

Hey all

My radiator fan sounds like a plane taking off - sounds like the bearing is nearing the end so I've got a replacement but can't find any guides online about how to remove and re-fit.
Can't be a difficult job but there's almost always a couple of awkward or hidden bolts.

Does anyone have any links to any online guides?

thanks

Once you remove the plastic top cover it’s all self explanatory. Really easy job you’ll work it out

Great....I just had a concern that there would be some sort of special technique or hidden connections and I'm not keen on starting if it might mean the car is in bits until I can get someone more knowledgeable to look at it.
Cheers

When you fit the replacement be careful not to snag the lower hose. Make sure the bottom of the fan shroud locates properly in the slots below it or it can move back and forth a bit.
