Morning Folks
I have a 2.7 tdv6 2008 84000 miles
I think my cooling fan is faulty as when the engine is cold the fan is fully engaged on start up and continues to be fully engaged .
I’ve turned the blades by hand and they are stiff and not free at all .
There is also a loud roar .
Does this sound as if the fan is gubbed
Can I also ask what is the electrical connection to the fan

Silly question, but are you sure its not the coolant heater? Mines been doing it since the cold weater.

No it’s definitely the fan it would appear not to be free even when cold 👍

Afraid I am of no help then sorry. Good luck

😂😂 not at alll 👍

I think it does a self test after startup, but if it carries on for longer than 1 minutes, you have a problem

The electrical connector tells the fan to run harder (engine ecu controlled), for example when the A/C is on or when coolant hot.
Also has a speed sensor

Pressing the ECO button on the climate panel, should change the note/speed of the fan and this is a good test

Thanks for the help think my fan is pumped it’s doesn’t stop after start up it keeps running and there is no difference when the eco button is activated/de activated.
So I think I need to invest in a fan 👍

Mine does it upon first start for approx 40 meters. Then I reach a T junction and I notice the noise has gone. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

did u have the car in the summer? and know the A/C works ?

Viscous Fan always run a bit


Read the engine fault codes and see if any fan problems reported.

I never had the car in the summer although I was told the system had been serviced /re gassed .
I know the fan will run all the time but mine in at full speed from the second you start the car until you stop it it never changes .

The car is going into local Indy garage for a intermittent suspension fault and a general health check so will get them to check .
Thanks for your help 👍
