grainboy3 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Guys Back in the summer I sat on the A1 in traffic and smelt a smell that reminded me of being a teenager and having a crap and knackered Astra mk2 which always overheated........then realised....it was me !!!!.....cooling fan won't cut in and will overheat given time. Any ideas ?...is it common ?...whats the plan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridz Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Cooling fan and aircon fan failure can be a problem on Zeds. There has been a lot of posts regarding this item on the forum, so it's worth using search function to get the background. Generally, removing the fan/motor assemblies and either cleaning or replacing motor brushes does the trick. If it is component failure then contact Zmanalex, Clark Motorsport or other traders on the forum for new or used replacements. You may wish to consider upgrading the fans to Mishimoto replacements, which have had some favourable reviews on here. These are available from Clarks or other traders.

Craigy_87 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Same thing happened to me, I went for the mishimoto fans and haven't had a problem since an hopefully no chance of the same failure happening again They are incredibly loud though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
