Carl Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 This is a little off topic. My 2002 plate 3 series BMW aircon has stopped working. This is because the air con pusher fan (elctric fan at front of engine) is faulty. these fan/cowling cost £200-250 depending where you buy from. My question is, can a normal elctric fan like the ones used for cooling your radiator etc be used instead as these can be bought for as little as £30 brand new. Is there something special about the BMW front fan that dictates the high price? Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
