My car was diagnosed with a faulty coolant pump, and both cooling fans were inoperable. I have the replacement fans (models xxxAD and AE), and am now looking to replace them. Has anyone taken on this job? I have the factory manuals and have not been able to find specific instructions as to how to. There is a 23 second video on the subject on youtube ( absolutely no help!). Any direction would be great! If you have the section on replacing the fans from the manual...even better!
Hi tr6pilot,
You need to remove front bumper, remove two pins on top that holds the radiator assembly and unscrew two screws at the bottom to move the radiator forward. Unplug two electrical plugs on the passenger side for the fans and pull the shroud up to remove it. Once its out, remove tree bolts that hold the fan to the motor and then another four that holds the motor to the shroud. You might need to drain the coolant and remove the aluminium bar to get the shroud off but I would try without doing that first. Good luck
