Help please: casa says radiator fan motor needs replacement

[6700rpm]

I need help please. My car is CR-V 2003 with about 46Tkm, mostly city use. During the 70Tkm check-up sa casa yesterday, the service advisor said that my radiator fan motor needs urgent replacement. If I don't replace it, he said that my car might overheat when idling in traffic with the aircon on. I did not have it done yet kasi sobrang mahal. More than P9,000 daw parts and labor sabi ng service advisor.

I have not seen any problems such as temperature rising or any erratic behavior. I opened the hood this morning after driving for 30 minutes to the office, and the center radiator fan turns off and on every few minutes when I checked it at idling with aircon off.

How will I know if the radiator fan really needs replacing, as what the Honda service advisor is saying? If yes, where do you guys suggest I have it replaced (QC area)? Siguro naman mas mura sa P9,000.

if ever na kailangan palitan ang rad fan, dami makukuha sa labas at madali lang naman magpalit nito, try mong patingin sa pinakamalapit na auto electrical shop para makita nila kung mahinana ang buga nito or intermittent ang operation nito.

Thanks sa replies. So far di pa naman ako overheat at palaging nasa bandang gitna yung temperature reading kahit may aircon.

Sa Honda Pasig dito sa C5 ako nagpa-service. Di naman pinakita nung advisor kung sira talaga yung fan. Ang sabi niya "mabagal" na yung fan sabi daw ng technician.

Papatingnan ko muna ito sa shop sa Morato na recommended ng kaibigan ko.

Tanong ko lang po: ilang speeds ba ang radiator fan? Hindi ba off and on lang ito (with a thermal sensor somewhere)? Para ba siyang home electric fan na may 3 speeds (or more)?

Kung bibili ako ng fan motor, mga magkano po sa labas? Pati ba yung fan mismo, papalitan pa rin kahit yung motor lang ang sira?

Since it's 2003 model already and the service advisor said that your radiator fan motor needs urgent replacement and didn't told U the reason. My brotherly advise is to bring it to SERVITEK. Since More than P9,000 daw parts and labor sabi ng service advisor, as a technical person in automotive technology, it's too costly. U bring it to SERVITEK, let them check the said problem. And if it's confirmed, U buy the parts needed * reliable ordinary auto supply and let them install it.

Since Sa Honda Pasig dito sa C5 ka nagpa-service I presumed U just live near hereat Marcos Hway Marikina, there's SERVITEK service center. And have your vehicle be check-up of the said problem.

MY REPLY :

A. 1 speed lang po ang fan motor. Hindi po sya like the home electric fan with multiple speed. Yes po with a thermal / thermistor sensor.

B. If U'll buy in a reliable ordinary auto supply store, much more cheaper compared sa casa price. If the motor itself is only defective, yun lang pong electric motor ang dapat palitan. The original fan blades will be reinstalled.

A reminder, the motor must be same in specs, appearance & size para po isasalpak na lamang NO MORE adaptation.

Thank you for your suggestions, and here is the final result.

Pina-check na namin sa T. Morato shops. Ayaw na nilang galawin kasi mabuti na daw na original Honda yung radiator fan motor. Di nila suggested na replacement or surplus motor.

Dinala ko sa Honda Pasig, buong araw nila inayos. Tinanggal pa daw yung bumper, battery mount, etc. para lang maabot yung radiator fan motor. Denso motor japan nakatatak. P9,800 lahat! Umaandar na ulit yung radiator fan, wala naman akong pang Christmas gift sa sarili ko.

My car's radiator fan is up for replacement, hindi na sya umaandar, and pag nag on ang AC, hindi nadin sya
Sumasabay, buti naiuwi ko pa and hindi nag overheat, opened the hood and grabe ang init sa engine bay.

Would any tsikoteer knows where i could an original radiator fan motor?
Searched further sa net, i found out na denso yung radiAtor fan motor,
Called up casa and quoted me a staggering 11k oem radiator fan motor.

Ganun ba talaga kamahal yun?

My car is a honda jazz gd.

Baka may alam kayo guys.

^Mahal siyempre sa casa. Ask around sa mga radiator specialists, siguradong mas mura gastos mo.

Pacheck mo muna, minsan relay lang yung sira, kasi sabi mo hindi sumasabay yung pag on e. Yung mga malalaking aircon specialist nagaayos din ng radiator fan, pwede mo dalhin para macheck.

go to Coolmate pasong tamo.. last time I asked nasa 2,500 yung oem radiator fan motor nang avanza... sa casa 9T..

Had my passenger side radiator/condenser fan replaced at Frigid Zone. 3.5k all in. Civic FD.

radiator fan motors are not really that difficult to source.
banawe... evangelista... pasay taft from vergel st. and southward... paco pedro gil market!
once, i had to replace my dead lancer fan. the original was an outrageous 10k! my mechanic and i practised some engenuity.. we got a generic fan for 800 kesos, and carved it up a little so's it can fit. it's been a year and so far ok naman..

if you are lucky, you can buy the motor separately and replace it. if you are not so lucky, you will have to buy the entire assembly.

+1 on this... dito rin ako nagpapagawa ng radiator/auxilliary/condenser fan ng mga auto namin... they carry all sorts of OEM brands like Denso, Sanden etc.

Since from QC ka, dami nila branch all over from Kamias, Kalayaan Ave, Congressional and Holy Spirit Drive QC. Google na lang for details.

Have your A/C system checked and cleaned as well with them if matagal na hindi napaservice

Yun ang hanap ko, mga brand new denso radiator fan motor.

Ill check those shops, i pass by one of those branches often.

If those 3.5k are the orig denso rad fan motors, not bad na yan. Salamat sa mga nagreply.

may denso shop sa Q Ave. Malapit sa Isuzu Q Ave. Sure ka orig Denso yung part

[confused shoes]

Kapag umaandar. I don't see the reason bakit palitan ang radiator fan.

Nakita mo naman na umiikot sya. Saka hindi naman tumataas ang temperature. Hayaan mo lang.

Kung minsan kasi sala din ang mga mekaniko sa casa. Kapag sira ang fan, hindi na iikot yan. Unless may ibang sira.

[non-vtec]

Better to replace it than wait for it to finally conk out. Though if it was me, I'd get an OEM surplus. Or at least a decent replacement part. Yung 9k na fan motor is almost the same na ng BMW aux fan assembly.
