Fans not cutting in - known problem?

[mr_smith126]

So my garage just called me.

They are a jap specialist, AutoBMC in Chandlers Cross. I feel fairly confident they know what they're doing..

 

So they had my car in for drop links, wheels spacers, tein springs, tyres, wheel refurb for stage 1 of my zedlist..

 

They have just called to say they had the car running in the bay and noticed the temp rising to the point the fans should cut in, but they didn't.

So they switched off and rang me to ask if i'd noticed anything. Well since getting the car i've not really been stuck in any traffic so haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. They have said in the past they have seen about 5 zeds with the same issue which ended up being the bushes on the fans. Their resolve was to swap round the bushes and all is well again.. this is a bit labour intensive but still better than buying new fans.

 

Has anyone had any similar experience, are there other areas which they will check first etc..?

 

Thanks in advance.

Zmanalex and Cougarstore sell uprated replacements if memory serves.

This and the cost of an uprated fan is probably not much more if any than the labour that they're quoting + new better fans, win.

Right job done, ordered new Mishimoto from Clark motorsports.

As you say not worth the time to refurb plus these are lighter, we like lighter

Thanks gents.
