crispyeel Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Little brief on my car. Does very little miles, more of a dry weather toy, not a daily I bought a cooling fan and shroud assembly off of eBay at the end of February to fit my half sized civic radiator, similar to this one All was fine and the car has been running fine up till Sunday. I was sitting idle at traffic lights and heard a loud pop, I pulled over and discovered that this fan had broken, making a horrible rattling noise when the fan is spinning Wondered what fan setup you guys/girls are running with your half sized radiators and where to get one from as I'm not really confident buying another eBay one for obvious reasons Cheers!

fiddlersport Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 all them fans are probably manufactured in the same factory in china You probably just have had a bad one from the supplier ? any warranty on this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crispyeel Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've emailed the seller yesterday and asked the question. Would have expected it to have lasted a bit longer than it did Just wondered if there were any better quality ones worth concidering Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Im going to be running the old fan from my air con. 3 screws on the fan take it off. Drill out the centre so that it can fit flush and bolt it back on the other way to change the direction of it. Free almost effortless slimline fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I run essentially the same as the above on both my GT's. never had a problem, likely you just got a bad one unfortunately Just try another slimline fan, most 12" slimline rad fan will fit and they're usually less than £20. Still sucks though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crispyeel Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ok cool, thanks for the feedback folks. Looks like I'll just need to order another one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
