GRR! (another fan clutch issue) 200 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Jean-Philippe Gauthier on  Fri May 18 08:33 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi everyone.

I made the "blocking the radiator" test last month and it showed that my fan clutch was bad. I bought a "known good" one at volvoworld.com and the test didn'T show any difference.

Engine temp. reached two millimeters before red line and I didn't hear the roar of an engaged fan clutch when I depressed the gas pedal. I turned off the engine and the fan was moving freely like my clutch was a bearing.

What's the problem? the clutch or the test?

thanks!
