can anybody tell me how the viscous fan on a 200tdi works and how to tell if its knackered, thanks mart
Well done Treworgey 90 that answers the question exactly.
Parragraph 6 is incorrect for the disco ie. if you have a bad fan clutch, it can also cause very poor performance in the vehicles air conditioning system. The reason for this is because the fan also cools the air conditioners condenser and that is found directly in front of the radiator.
A disco's a/c condenser is cooled by twin electric fans located together with the condenser in front of the radiator the condenser is not cooled by the engine fan.
Read trewys postjust read this thread and went outside to try my fan..I can turn it by hand but deffo not spin it..is it knackered...and would this cause me landy tem gauge to stay at the bottom..creaping up to a bout a 1/4 on a long run...?? cheers

Also check ya thermostat! Mine was like this until it it had a new stat! As the the one fitted had stuck fully open! After the new stat the temp needle went straight to the middle, up hill n down dale! Oh and the heater worked properYes and yes.
Remove the fan and bin it - assuming yours is a TDi.
I like them fans tho - will they fit a standard rad?
Thanks to boomerv8 i got rid of my viscous fan today! I removed my aircon a lil while back but left fans in situ for when needed as they do seem to shift a fair bit of air themselves!I did use them as a back up on my airconditioned 200tdi when I took off my engine driven fan.
