ZMANALEX Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Common fault but an expensive fix if you go the main dealer route unless you were under warranty. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatbloke74 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hey Tim, has it fixed the problem? How much did it cost out of interest as mine has been suffering in the past. Alex has been a great help when speaking to him, so if you ever get any probs like this in the future then it's worth mailing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You really got two mates Buster Yes, costly repair if you go to Nissan as there motors are circa £350.00 each. I sell after market fan motors for £150.00 each and have had no issues so far. Unfortunately out of stock at the moment but expecting more next week. Alex.

Darren-B Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Surely only one at a time? If so I would suspect that and early diagnosis that one may have failed is if the fan comes on regularly without the AC on as there would be less cooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could be running with only one fan motor working and you may not have any running hot issues while in traffic. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
