Renault Radiator Fan Clutch |
| Without your Renault fan clutch, your engine would overheat and fail. By rotating
the fan at just the right speed, the fan clutch guarantees that your fan will
rotate at the perfect speed needed to keep the engine from overheating. If you
suspect that your fan clutch is worn or broken, there are a couple things you
can check. First, check the fan clutch for oil streaks. Even if these oil streaks
have been covered in dust, it means that the internal fluid that supplies your
clutch action is leaking. You can also check for a worn bearing by turning the
engine off and handling the fan blade. Try moving it from side to side. If you
can move it more than ¼” the bearing is worn down and your fan clutch needs to
be replaced. Another easy way to check if your fan clutch is operating correctly
is to run the engine until it’s reached its operating temperature. Then, turn
the engine off and manually spin the fan blade. If the fan blade spins more than
twice, it’s a sign that the clutch is worn and needs to be replaced. |
