tim Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Hi Anybody have problems with cooling My 350 boiled in heavy slow traffic, put it into a dealer and they replaced fan motors. TIM Quote
ZMANALEX Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Common fault but an expensive fix if you go the main dealer route unless you were under warranty. Alex. Quote
phatbloke74 Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Hey Tim, has it fixed the problem? How much did it cost out of interest as mine has been suffering in the past. Alex has been a great help when speaking to him, so if you ever get any probs like this in the future then it's worth mailing him. Quote

ZMANALEX Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 You really got two mates Buster Yes, costly repair if you go to Nissan as there motors are circa £350.00 each. I sell after market fan motors for £150.00 each and have had no issues so far. Unfortunately out of stock at the moment but expecting more next week. Alex. Quote
jerry3167 Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Is this a common Zed problem? Bit worried now!! Quote
ZMANALEX Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Is this a common Zed problem? Bit worried now!! Yes Jerry, unfortunately the coolant fan motors are prone to premature failure. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Is this a common Zed problem? Bit worried now!! Yes Jerry, unfortunately the coolant fan motors are prone to premature failure. you learn something every day !! What mileage ? Quote
Darren-B Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Surely only one at a time? If so I would suspect that and early diagnosis that one may have failed is if the fan comes on regularly without the AC on as there would be less cooling Quote
tim Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks people Replacement cost was £540.00 fitted Quote
Stew Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks peopleReplacement cost was £540.00 fitted Sounds like it was one side. That's the best thing about owners clubs, cheap parts! Quote
ZMANALEX Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 What mileage ? Hang on until I get my crystal ball out mate. Quote

If so I would suspect that and early diagnosis that one may have failed is if the fan comes on regularly without the AC on as there would be less cooling Agreed, but when one fails it is hardly noticable, until the second one fails. So you could be running with only one fan motor working and you may not have any running hot issues while in traffic. Alex. Quote
