good point I never thought of it that way. and at the end of the day the viscous is the easy and original way. thanks for your reply's guys.

iv been told the electric fan mod is easy enough to do and also gives you more power, is this true?

my v the viscous fan has packed in and was wondering what was better viscous or electric?

thanks I checked the viscous and its knackered. happy days

done the newspaper test and very glad to say it was the viscous fan that was knackered

for a while there I thought it was the head gasket. thanks again for your help guys

yeah its fine when on a run just when left on idle it creeps up to 3/4 on gauge. also rad pipes go a bit hard.

il try the newspaper test tomorrow and il let you's know how I get on. thanks again for your help guys

nice 1 jmc330i this will be my first job tomorrow. many thanks, il be keeping my fingers well out the way

having a little trouble with cooling and been advised to check the coupling on the viscous fan. not sure how to check this. help would be greatly appreciated.

how do I check that? does it not turn the fan as quick when not working right?

could the heater matrix cause the rad pipes to go hard? was thinking of bypassing this to eliminate the matter. I don't have any wet carpet and the heaters work a treat. also going to change the temp sensor(the blue one on the thermostat)

yeah checked the hoses the one from the back of the head is at the bottom. is that rite?

I had the head skimmed and pressure tested before fitting even tho I was assured the head was good. I did it for my own piece of mind

hi guys iv recently put my e30 back on the road for summer, but last year I had to do the head gasket. I also renewed the rad the thermostat head bolts, dizy cap rotor arm. iv recently fitted full stainless exhaust and changed the plugs, but while out for a drive I was getting a splutter at 2000 rev...

yeah looks like iv learnt the hard way regarding aftermarket leads. it was just that i replaced the plugs so thought id do the leads. and like a write muppit i went n cut no 6 ht lead to pull the cid of :? cars running bad so looks like im going to have to buy a new set of oem leads. thanks for your...

orite guys was just wondering do i need the pulse sensor thats wrapped round number 6 ht lead. iv just changed to 8mm leads and cant get new ht lead threw it. was told car runs perfect without. is this true?

hi brian did what you advised and bingo it was the steering collum. bit of blue tack job done no more tiky noise.

many thanks

got you. that makes perfect sense. il try it first thing tomorrow many thanks for your advice

nice 1 thanks. what happens when the heater pipes are on the wrong way? would that cause a tiky noise? its nothing to do with horn or any panel rattle. not there on idle can come and go to

hello fellow e30 owners. im getting a very annoying and embarrassing noise tiky bit like when your exhaust manifolds popin a bit but iv replaced gaskets and checked for leaks its not that.just seams to be inside the noise is any ideas?
