Viscous fan may need replacing


Samurai 20V

Recommended Posts

Hi guys..

 

Need some advice..

 

My TT6 is BPU with a FMIC..

 

At the moment I am running stock boost, till I sort out my fuelling (only 95 in SA).

 

I mentioned to my mac that my car always seems to dump extra coolant into the bottle, especially after a hard run.

(Note the temperature is pretty high here, winter is around 25 deg at midday)..

 

I have a new OEM radiator, water pump, hoses thermostat..

 

My mac diagnosed the viscous fan is the issue.. It does spin very free when spun by hand...

 

I have searched here, most ppl seem to switch to electric fans, not replace the viscous..

 

Which should I go for?

 

Is there any other advantage to the electric setup?

 

I am leaning towards replacing the viscous..

 

Thanks..
