How long did it take you to remove the fans? Need to motivate myself to do mine, had overheating issues and checked the fans, no life in them

Gonna try cleaning the motors out as per Colin’s thread above

Taking out the fans doesn't take that long its just fiddly as you have to work it around certain objects either to the left or right of it and then at the top where the top rad hose neck is and the filler cap.

 

I hope you have more luck than i did doing this as mine went up in smoke.

Update!!!

 

I passed the MOT....whoop whoop....

Took a while mind...had the emissions tested 3 times over before it actually passed though...

 

Was failing on the lamda....guessing down to the big bore on the end.....so they took the clip on end off and shoved the pipe further into the exhaust and then it passed....

 

Thank god....

 

So for now my worries are over!!

So I have the same issue so I am replacing the thermostat and temp sensor and going to bleed. Fingers crossed. If not then will replace the fans but at around £200 for a Mishimoto replacement is it likely to be that and is it worth replacing?
