Withdrawal



Remove the upper fan shroud.



Using a 32 mm or 36 mm bent wrench, unscrew the fan mount to the coolant pump hub.

Attention: The fan mounting nut has a left-hand thread, so it must turn to the right.




A suitable wrench can be made independently A \u003d 50 mm, B \u003d 10 mm, C \u003d 10 mm.

When loosening the nut, squeeze the water pump drive V-belt to secure the hub and prevent it from turning. If the nut is too tight, hit the wrench with a suitable hammer to loosen the nut.

Remove the fan.

If the fan wheel and the viscous coupling must be separated, unscrew the 4 mounting bolts and pull out the coupling.

Installation



If disconnected, insert a viscous coupling into the fan wheel and tighten the fastening bolts to a torque of 9 Nm (for a V6 engine - a torque of 20 Nm).


Attention: In order to avoid damage to the thread and the coupling, never tighten the bolts more than 10 Nm (for a V6 engine - a torque of 23 Nm).


Screw fan with coupling to coolant pump hub. While doing this, hold the hub with a V-belt.

Install the upper fan shroud.
