I posed a fan question some 5 weeks ago, no one replied.
i guess every body his own.
I called the KIA delaler last monday for a fan that had cracks between each fin, some completely from front to rear. They said it was most liekly a job under warranty.
I did notice that the fan could be turned manuualy but was not free running...
I dropped it of at 07:30 am an thursday dec 15, got a call at 09:00 am.
Picked it up at noon, the bill was 0.00 US dollars, got a free coupon for an oil change.
The supervisor explained to me the reason why practically half of the fans show cracks after 30 K and most give up before the factory train warranty is over = thank god
I checked the new fan that included a complete new clutch and i can now spin the fan and will make a few runs. The old fan would only be moving when you pused it, aas soon as you released it it would stop.
by the way, the dealer = Car Pros of Tacoma.
