To remove


1. Disconnect and remove the battery. Remove the battery shelf (SENSONIC).

2. Separate the radiator fan's electrical connections.

3. Release the servo pump's oil pipe and the clips for the radiator's breather hose from the radiator crossmember and turn the oil pipe to one side.

4. Remove the 2 screws securing the radiator fan cover and lift it up.


5. Remove the screws which hold the radiator fan to the fan cover, undo the resistor (2-speed radiator fan) and undo the contacts from the fan cover and remove the fan.


To fit



1. Fit the radiator fan in its correct position against the fan cover and secure it with the nuts.

2. Press the contacts on to the fan cover and refit the resistor (2-speed radiator fan).

3. Fit in the radiator fan cover over the radiator and tighten the two screws.

4. Reconnect the radiator fan.


5. Refit the battery shelf (SENSONIC). Refit and reconnect the battery.


Replacement of temperature sensor for radiator fan



1. Open the lid of the expansion tank and release the over-pressure, then tighten the lid.

2. Remove the cover and the pressure pipe between the charge air cooler and the throttle body (turbo).

3. Undo the temperature sensor's electrical connection and remove the temperature sensor.

4. Fit the temperature sensor.


Turning torque 6 Nm (4.5 lbf ft).

Reconnect the electrical connection.

5. Fit the pressure pipe between the charge air cooler and the throttle body (turbo)

6. Fill with coolant and check the system for leaks.


Replacement of fan resistor (2-speed radiator fan)


1. Remove the radiator fan, see instructions.

2. Cut off the cables to the resistor.

3. Solder the cables to the new resistor. Be careful to follow the colours.

4. Fit the radiator fan, see instructions.
