air con fans removal

[dan222]

Hi all
as any one removed the air con fans from under the engine , as i wish to take them off for good, but need to know if this is a hard or easy job to do ,?
any advice will help, thanks , Dan.

It's just four bolts to drop the assembly off. Getting the pipework out tends to take longer than removing the fan assembly. Are you removing the aircon system completely?

No big job.
If your air-con has never worked then chances are that all the gas has evaporated anyway so just unscrew the pipes and drop the rad down.
Remove pipes from compressor and remove it, and them too.

Please bear in mind that removing the loom from the fans can give you starting issues. In my case it was an open circuit that would not allow the starter relay to energise. tWas a eight bugger to diagnose. As for the rest of the aircon ... It's all easy to remove.

has anyone else had this problem of not beign able to start the engin after removing the fans, ?

[MattF]

Not personally. You can easily check before removing anything. Drop the condensor rad but leave all of the hoses connected and disconnect the connector for the fans.

Sounds like you just had crappy luck when you removed yours Gra.

Ahhhh... tWas the great windy one that removed it.
there was an earth wired possibly, by a previous owner which when I connected back up stopped the drain. I think it was from an immobiliser. But your right I just had crappy luck ( and me vince, stein and bio trying to reassemble the dash before the rac arrived)
