s2 m 20.03.003

Note:  The Borg Warner viscous fan drive does not require any maintenance. If the fan drive is damaged, replace the unit. Do not attempt to repair it.

Notice: If the fan drive assembly is damaged, replace the unit as soon as possible. Operating a seized or otherwise damaged clutch reduces fuel economy, and could cause serious engine damage.

See  of the S2 Chassis Workshop Manual for replacement instructions.

  1. With the engine shut down, rotate the fan at least one full turn by hand. It should have a smooth, steady drag. If it does not, replace the fan clutch.
  2. Check for physical damage to the fan or fan shroud.
  3. Check for correct drive belt alignment and tension. For specifications, see  of the S2 Chassis Workshop Manual .
  4. Check for wear of the fan clutch bearings. There should be no side-to-side or in-and-out movement of the fan clutch.
  5. Do all of the checks in  of the S2 Chassis Workshop Manual .
