Title: Visco clutch defect?
Post by: jan lauwers on April 14, 2014, 20:11:34
Hello folks.

I noticed that my fan is running at cold start. I did the newspaper test and it does not stop. Does that mean that my visco clutch is defect? I think I have read somewhere that it IS normal that it`s on at cold start… Anybody who knows this for certain please?

I am under the impression that my engine is not getting hot enough, but  I will need to confirm that. Have replaced the thermostat, but that does not seem to give any noticeable change.

Thanks gentlemen.
