Fan Exploded - Questions
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2009 6:22 pm
It's been a long summer here... Today my fan exploded. Pretty noticeable noise - made the engine cover jump. Big excitement.
Is this a normal occurance? (I always wondered why the underside of the engine cover was chewed up.)
Any ideas why? Just old Austrian plastic?
Any advice regarding replacing the damaged one? I have the old one off already. I assume it's a matter of adjusting the belt tension as you replace the part.
Is this usually replaced with a new one, or are used fans reliable enough to use?
Thanks,
Paul
