With the 32 mm wrench still opened on the fan clutch nut; tighten the nut in clockwise direction provided that the pulley is held counter to it. Remove the coolant pump fan and state that the nut of the radiator cooling fan is loosened with an anticlockwise rotation. Disconnect the AUC sensor and auxiliary fan electrical connector from the shroud, and the lift the fan and the shroud out of the engine compartment. To replace the fan clutch, one has to first unscrew the fan mounting bolts and then to disengage the clutch from the fan viscously. Removal only really means the installation process in the opposite direction.

BMW X5 Cooling Fan Assembly

The BMW X5 Cooling Fan Assembly helps to keep engine temperatures in check by pulling vital airflow through the radiator during low speed or idle situations. Early models featured a belt-driven mechanical fan. Later models featured an electric Cooling Fan Assembly for quicker response and better efficiency. Both designs are located just behind the radiator shroud with the fan blade, shroud, and motor or clutch drawing air across coolant-filled tubes. When the vehicle is cruising, there is enough natural airflow, but when in traffic, the Cooling Fan Assembly takes its place to ensure steady coolant flow and protect the aluminum block. In electric form, sensors and the engine control unit vary fan speed, cutting noise and saving power, benefits prized in the second-generation X5 onward. Mechanical units use a belt-driven viscous clutch that does not engage until heat builds, but the electric Cooling Fan Assembly responds faster and eliminates drag, aiding fuel economy. Regardless of the type, the Cooling Fan Assembly is a vital piece of protection, and paying attention to its shroud, motor, and blades regularly is how every BMW driver enjoys reliable highway and city motoring in an X5. Should failure occur, not only are there warning lights, but the BMW temperature gauge can rise rapidly, indicating that shutdown is required immediately to prevent severe damage.

In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW X5 Cooling Fan Assembly that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
