Reply To: Ethanol in Petrol, engine coolant and tyre pressures

Rod, one other thing we ought to mention, have you checked that the fan blade is on the right way around? It’s an easy mistake to make and the fan blade on my own car was fitted the wrong way around when I bought it.
It can make a difference, so, visually the ‘concave side should be toward the engine, i.e. looking at the blades the raised part of the ridge down each blade should be facing the radiator with the dished part toward the engine as seen in the image. Having it the correct way around ensures the maximum ‘pull’ of air at idle when sat in traffic when coolant circulation is at it’s lowest. Also check that the spacers between the pulley and blade are in place. These are all minor things with minimal cost to rectify.
