Hi all
Has anyone had any experience with separating the Td5 viscous fan? Mine is a bit weak and I want to replace the fluid. I did this on my old patrol with Toyota fluid and was hoping its the same with the Td5. Also does the Td5 have an A/C electric fan? Mine doesn't have one but the 1999 model year manual shows that there should be one at the front just behind the grill. I had the A/C regassed yesterday and the technician said the pressure was 100psi high at start up due to the weak viscous fan and no electric fan but was ok when they placed a large fan in front of the vehicle to increase airflow and simulate the vehicle moving.
I'm thinking to also fit a fan from supercheap and connect via a relay to the fan switching circuit so it operates when the A/C cuts in.
As always, any help much appreciated
