Thread: TD6 FAN

Hi Jim,
are you thinking of converting the fan due to it being noisey (engaged a lot) just wondering because mine was doing the same and taking forever to quieten down. I removed the bumper etc to get at the radiators and found a load of bugs and leaves in the rad.
probably ten years worth so i just gently pressure washed and blew out with commpressed air. I removed the cowling and top rad mounts so i could get between the radiators and to do a proper job. this has made a huge difference and all is well now. its working as it should and is nice and quiet.

hope this helps

Hi Neil. When mine kicks back and sits on about 3000rpm it sounds like a herculese about to take off, otherwise it is fairly quiet.

Hey Jim, so is yours noisey from tickover to about 3000rpm? then goes quiet?

Really only noisy when the gearbox kicks back and the engine revs up quickly, or when you plant your foot to make a quick getaway.

Mines just noisy all the time. Occasionally it will shut up for a bit, but will come back on on a hot day, then stay on for a few weeks again... Been thinking of binning it for a new one, but haven't got around to it yet.

There are electric fans in the front already I think, which come on over the top of the engine fan when it gets really warm. At least that is the way I think it works, the blurb on the cooling system in RAVE says something like that IIRC.
