Frequently asked questions about cooling fan repair & replacements

Read our answers to questions about cooling fan repair costs, symptoms and more.

What does a Radiator Fan Motor do?

What does a cooling fan replacement involve?

  • Mechanic will inspect the cooling, electrical and computer systems to establish whether the issue lies with the radiator fan.
  • If necessary, the mechanic will replace the radiator fan.
  • Mechanic will re-inspect the system and test drive the car, if necessary.

Can I do a cooling fan replacement myself?

Always replace the radiator fan motor as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. It is essential that the radiator fan is kept in a good condition, this should contribute to a prolonged lifespan.
