Rolls Royce Radiator Fan Clutch |
| Like every vehicle part, your Rolls Royce fan clutch can wear down. The fan
clutch is an important part of your engine that prevents it from overheating.
It makes sure that the fan rotates at the exact speed necessary to keep the engine
cool. Here are some ways you can tell if you need to replace your fan clutch.
First, to tell if the internal fluid that provides clutch action is leaking, check
the fan clutch for oil streaks. You can also check to see if the fan bearing
is worn. Grab the fan blade while the engine is off and try giggling it from
side-to-side. If you’ve got more than ¼” of movement, it’s a sure sign to replace
your fan clutch. To check for proper fan operation, run your engine until it
reaches operating temperature. Once reached, turn the engine off and spin the
fan blade with your hand. The clutch is worn out if the rotation is rough or
noise and if the fan fails to turn at all. |
