Happy new year guys,

Should my 1995 300TDi D90 - have a viscous coupling? I ask because I started the old girl today from cold, she was covered in snow and the fan was turning stratight away :confused:!

If it should have a viscous coupling is there any test/ easy way to free it up or is it totally shot?

Cheers
Steve


 
they always turn.

stick your hand in when the engine is cold and it should stop the blades turning.

stick your hand in when the engine is up to operating temperature and you should lose all your fingers and maybe your thumb. IF this happens, its working as it should :D

T'other way round mate, they work best when they're not needed, ie: cold and are next to useless when needed ie: hot.
