Audi Fan Clutch

Cars, just like any other things, do not last forever. Any car will eventually start having problems after some time especially if you do not make it a habit to regularly check your car parts. Lack of maintenance is one of the most often reasons why cars break down and start having problems. And one of the common problems that vehicle owners encounter is an overheating engine. This causes serious damage that is why all engine parts should be checked regularly as well as the other components that is used to cool the radiator such as the fan clutch.

The fan clutch, just like the Audi fan clutch, is a device used in the automotive cooling system. This is a part of the cooling fan and is used to mount the cooling fan to its drive pulley. This operates at different speeds depending on different conditions in order to lessen the drain on the engine and at the same time to save fuel. Usually, when the temperature that surrounds the engine is hot, the fan clutch runs almost as fast as the engine. But when the temperature is cold, it runs slower than the engine. This movement of the fan clutch is regulated by a valve, a part that controls the flow of the viscous silicone fluid between the chambers in the clutch assembly. That is why the valve should also be checked regularly to ensure the efficiency of the fan clutch.

However, when you notice that your vehicle’s engine starts to run hotter and the performance of your car’s air conditioning unit drops, the reason may be a fan clutch failure. If you suspect this problem, you can verify it by testing the fan. You have to spin the fan real hard and when it rotates more than five times, the fan clutch is really in bad condition. But there are instances that the fan may spin up to three times only. This does not indicate however that nothing is wrong with the fan clutch because some resistance could have caused it to spin slower. To really confirm the problem, you have to test the fan for several times.

If indeed, your fan clutch is bad, you should look for replacement right away to avoid further damage to the engine. You can purchase one here at Parts Train, where a wide variety of auto parts is available for different types of vehicles, makes, and models. Just look for the Audi fan clutch that you need and submit your order online.
