Auxiliary Fan Assembly 850CI
Logged on to get some need input,
As in a prior post Aux fans were discussed, and I'd like to get some more info regarding, that component. I'm currently doing a survey of a 97 850 CI and running down the issues with this car. An inspection under the hood found fasteners missing on the Auxiliary Fan Assembly cover. With only one left of 6 it was easy to remove and inspect. My visual found the fan is working , but when I made a point of reaching in and turn it by hand found that the fan blade assy was loose on the motor shaft, and was able to flop around. My question is, is there a replacement for the fan blade assy only, and would the fan flutter (make noise) under acceleration. I'm trying to track down a fluttering noise, "under acceleration", which sounds like it's in the induction, but this loose fan is now on the list of issues to address. My guess is it's just one of a few issues to address with a 10 year old car with 104K on it. Any help is greatly appreciated |

Aux wobbling fan fixed
Finally decided to take the assembly out, and disassembled fan from motor.
Found the outside retaining clip cracked on one side. Straightened out the clip and ran safety wire around and thru slots in clips to make sure it was secure and also snug. Re assembled on motor shaft and wobble is gone and clip is salvaged/re enforced. reinstalled assembly. Checked fan operation, and it's now quieter and not wobbling. |
