Hi
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!
