Just a quickie...
Just been doing a bit of a service on a friends Punto 8v 1.2 2003.
The car has recently had a replacement engine as the previous unit lost
its water and seized up!
Whilst doing the once over i noticed that the fan mounted on the back of
the radiator is very stiff to turn by hand for about 7/8s of its revolution.
Putting two and two together i am wondering if the fan is buggered hence
the water loss hence the seizing up?
My question is, should the fan turn freely by hand? My Focus fan does,
my corsa fan did.....
It looks easy enough to pull to bits to get the motor out and test it
with a 12v supply but i thought I'd ask first!
Re: 2003 1.2 Punto Fan
yes, it should spin freely. First check that the fan is not hitting
somewhere. If it is the motor that is stiff you may be able to squirt some
oil onto the fan bearing from the outside and try that first,the other you
may be able to punch or drill a little hole to let lube in, most rad fans
are crimped together so are not really user serviceable. Checking the fan
works is part of basic servicing.
