Volvo Fan Motor |
| The first place you should check when your engine starts overheating is your
fan motor. If you’ve noticed the overheating has been happening while you’re
stopped or at an idle, then it’s almost defiantly the Volvo fan motor. You may
not know this, but your cooling fan increases airflow over the radiator while
you’re stopped or driving at low speeds. If your cooling fan isn’t working properly,
the radiator doesn’t cool down and will run until it overheats. Many vehicles
have two fans: one for the radiator and one for the air condenser. Your radiator
fan cools the engine. Usually, you can find the cooling fan motor behind or in
front of the radiator. It is the primary heat exchange for your engine. The
condenser fan increases the efficiency of your air conditioning unit while idling
or driving at low speeds. Some fans have four fan blades while others have as
many as eleven. |
