DOHC engine
The parts to be removed are shown in fig. paragraph 5 (Removal and installation of a radiator).
1. Disconnect the motor plug connection.
2. Remove the heatsink as described in the appropriate section.
3. Loosen the radiator mounting bolts (illustrations).
4. Loosen the nuts (1), shown in the illustration and remove the fan housing.
5. Remove the circlip on the motor shaft. Remove the wing assembly.
The fan is installed in the reverse order of its removal. The impeller is attached to the motor shaft with a retaining ring.
After installing the radiator and filling the system with liquid, start the engine and check the operation of the fan.
Engine 2.0 l OHC until the end of 1996 release (including viscous coupling)
With this engine, the cooling fan is removed along with the viscous coupling.
1. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
2. Remove the V-belt as described in the relevant section.
3. Remove the central bolt from the fan. The bolt is shown in the illustration, it has a left-hand thread. When loosening the bolt, the impeller must be kept from turning.
4. Remove the viscous coupling and pulley.
The fan is installed in the reverse order of its removal. Bolt tighten torque 26 Nm (left thread!).
Engine 2.4 l (including viscous coupling)
With this engine, the cooling fan is removed along with the viscous coupling.
1. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
2. Remove the V-belt as described in the relevant section.
3. Remove the central bolt from the fan. The bolt is shown in the illustration, it has a left-hand thread.
4. Remove the viscous coupling and pulley.
The fan is installed in the reverse order of its removal. Bolt tighten torque 26 Nm (left thread!).
2.0L OHC engine from 1997
With this engine, the bolts are unscrewed and the entire fan frame is removed from the inside of the radiator. Next, the fan is removed.
1. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery and disconnect the plug connection at the fan motor.
2. Remove the fan as already described.
3. Turn away bolts (1) And (2) on the inside of the radiator (illustrations) and remove the entire fan housing from the bottom brackets.
4. Loosen the three nuts on the inside of the motor (see illus.) and remove the case.
5. Remove the retaining ring from the fan motor shaft with a screwdriver and disassemble the assembly.
The fan is assembled in the reverse order of disassembly.
