Product Information

Engages and disengages the cooling fan between the radiator and engine

Fan clutches are responsible for engaging and disengaging the cooling fan that sits behind the radiator and in front of the engine block. Signs of a failed fan clutch includes loud fan noises from the engine bay while accelerating and failure to engage causing overheating conditions.

For easy removal of the fan clutch you will need a thin 32mm wrench and counter hold tool. FCP carries a special tool set for this repair, CTA-A886.

Engine Cooling Fan Clutch

An engine cooling fan clutch is a thermostatic device that controls the operation of the engine’s cooling fan based on temperature. It engages or disengages the fan depending on engine heat and air conditioning demand, reducing unnecessary drag on the engine when full cooling isn’t required. This helps improve fuel efficiency, reduce noise, and maintain proper engine temperature.

Engine Cooling Fan Clutch Failure Symptoms
  • Engine overheating, if the clutch fails to engage the fan when extra cooling is needed.
  • Excessive fan noise (“roaring” sound), if the clutch is stuck engaged and the fan runs at full speed all the time.

Dont buy.
After properly installing this product from day one it has been extremely loud and follows up into high rpms which it is not supposed to do, i was told to give it time to settle in but after hundreds of miles its still not properly working. Buy oem and avoid this brand.

Febi Fan Clutch
I bought this part but the bimetallic design of the heat sensing is very different than the OEM. The OEM has a flat plate and this one has a coil. Although it fits, I am reluctant to install it because I want precise operation of the fan.
