Good vs Locked Fan Clutch

[@deangermeten5629]

Thank you! Yours is the only video I found showing a direct drive fan clutch which proves how cars were built and ran before the invention of fan clutches and they ran just fine with consistent temperature. Fan clutches were/are a dumb idea, so when the fail, the better to blow head-gaskets.

This shows nothing except a lack of understanding of how the cooling system works. No matter what the fan is doing, the thermostat limits coolant flow to maintain a fairly consistent system temperature. That's how the engine can warm up even on a winter day.

Yes , you are right . We were thinking to redo the test , without thermostat , but the owner of the car , did not wanted to disassemble it again .

[@debeerpaul]

I have these problem. Car sounds like a bus. Hate that noise. Can I take it off permanently??

[@DaveyJonesLockerwithJazzy]

I didn't remove my fan, I just locked it. Very gently. Through summer and autumn now, the fan was not required, temperature stable and engine perfect. It's only temporary until I replace with electric fan.

Good idea

[@Drago9205]

При изправен термостат той ще компенсира охлаждането от перката на празен ход или в хубаво време. Голямата разлика идва ако с фиксираният вискосъединител пускаш по наклон на скорост - тогава видимо и на уредите на таблото ще падне температурата, правил съм го тоя експеримент на 318-ка не е готино зимата да не държи оптимална температура. Също е хубаво да се направи и тест за колко време ще загрее колата с едната и другата. Като цяло не е добра идея да се зацепва постоянно перката

Колега, имам една 530D и ми се струва, че виското не се стяга като загрее колата на 90-93-градуса! Автомат е и се притеснявам за темп на маслото на кутията, от клипа видимо няколко градуса е разликата, важно ли е да е читаво! Оригиналното е 2002-ра и едва ли е читаво!

My fan is stuck clutch is seized and killing me on fuel consumption and loss of power in my Ram 1500. I’m ready to pull the damn thing off... can’t afford to replace it at the moment but it’s terribly consuming fuel.. any suggestions

[@mibars]

remove the sucker and put a random junkyard electric fan, with a switch in cab, or just power it from ignition +12v.

Jb welds does great no joke

[@laaribi_abdo]

what scanner do you used

[@crank3646]

Launch X431

[@Gustav4]

it robs the hp if its on all the time

[@jp_travels247]

Gustav it frickin does, my ranger is slow, I get it if it's super hot but it the winter it's still engaged

[@JodBronson]

THANK YOU for the Test Demo, I have learned something new today. Only about 5 Celsius difference (or 40F+). But you are loosing Horse Power :(((, not a good trade off and definitely NOT worth it to By-Pass a Locked Clutch :((((((

[@dmironyuk]

Locked @ 100% or... maybe 120% ?? 😄

[@ANDYW031084]

this is wrong what you did better if you install electric fan not something like this and is not safe too
