viscous fan for the p38?

P38_Ireland · Nov 22, 2010

Quick question, is the viscous fan from the p38the same as from the BMW engine in the omega, 325 & 525? Got to Wexford last night and noticed the temperature was creeping up when I was going slowly through towns

The V8 is different. The main difference is that the V8 has a r.h. thread.

If you are looking for one for your V8, I have a spare good unit...send me a PM if you wish.

If you topped up with four or five litres it was low, believe me it was low.
