No Factory Auxillary Fan on Montero Sport (3rd Gen)

[roydok]

i have an innova. it does not have an aux fan, either.
and i feel no need for one, either.
engine doesn't overheat, and aircon is cool, even on hot days.

May nakaabang natin bang aux fan mountings and supporting electricals sa new Innova which also does not have an aux fan?

This question has been addressed early on in this thread. Why do you keep asking it?

The question that has been addressed is about the 3rd gen Montero Sport and NOT of the Innova which is the question is about if you read it. I
was just curious its the same with the Monty na may nakaabang na din na din na montings and electricals?

Are you sure?

Other people have made similar or related conclusions.

And I am not making this about the Innova.

sinilip ko yung aking OLD innova.
mukhang wala.
but it should not be difficult to have one installed.
the space is pretty large. designing and executing mounting attachments should not be a problem.

So the new diesel vehicles at least from Toyota and Mitsubishi has improved their cooling efficiencies that negates the use of aux fans...

there's only one way to find out...
a side-by-side comparison. two identical vehicles. one with aux installed, the other, stock.

so... who's volunteering?

OT: Both for the diesel and gasoline variants of Innova, previous gen.... both RWDs.

In the same token, I guess the current (?) model of the MS does not need the aux fan....

my 2014 hilux comes without the auxiliary fan either.
noticed that the clutch fan can push/pull a very good amount of air even at idle. maybe they have modifications with the fan blades?

Our Granvia doesn't have an aux fan. It has been running without one for twenty years/171tkms. The standard clutch fan is more than strong enough. Very strong wind can be felt when the hood is opened.

afaik, naging issue dati yan sa mga gen 2 like mine, after some time humihina na ikot ng stock fan at eventually humihinto. kapag nasa trapik ka o kaya long drive at huminto, wala ka na AC. so para panigurado, pakabit ng aux fan. yung iba nirepair, palit lang daw carbon brush

This happened to our gen 2 already, after about 5 yrs of driving it. I had to replace the motor of the aux fan. It set me back around 3k ata. Pero kung non-oem motor kalahati lang ang damage

Well ang totoo niyan, nissan design naman na ang cooling system ng gen3, bigger condenser, pwede talaga na wala aux fan. Pero mostly naman ng nagpapa-install, since everything is just plug and play, palagyan na din daw nila. 100 percent, mas maaga ma-reach yung desired temp kesa walang aux fan. Mas marami rest time si compressor than oem set up na wala.

agree, one of the beneficial mods that helps the AC system. imo, much better than doing aesthetics mods o bling blings

Apologies. That's what happens when I start going through the replies before I've had my first coffee.

Just to reiterate, most Diesels being produced now (and probably has been for a while), especially if the engine is longitudinally mounted, don't use an aux fan. The current Montero Sport may have the fan mountings in place but Mitsubishi, probably at the last minute, decided that it's redundant and an extra cost they can live without. We may never know the real reason.

If this is an actual issue, we'll eventually have at least several people complaining about overheating or exhibiting loss of power in hot weather. Until such time, you need not worry about it. Ignore the mount points. If you have an OBD-II scanner, you can check the actual coolant temperature in real time. In fact, if you're near Makati on a work day, we can meet up and I can connect my UltraGauge to read your MS' engine parameters.

Anyway, if it helps, try starting your vehicle and just leave it idling. Get out and put your hand in front of the grille. You will actually feel how much air flow is going by with just having the mechanical fan.

Update: I called Mitsubishi Phils Customer Relations Unit through (02) 250 8888 (7:00am - 3:30pm - Mondays to Fridays) to ask about the absent aux fan. A reply from their quality assurance engineer mentioned that the cooling system of the current Montero Sport is very efficient as it does not need an additional aux fan. The mounting points, electrical harness present are for Montero Sport units designated for other markets that require an aux fan. The old and trusted 4D56 that was used in the old Monty is still being used on the current 3rd gen Monty as an engine option in some markets. The mounting points and harness may be for the 4D56-equipped 3rd gen Monty's.

Thank you very much for all those who replied to this thread.

FWIW, the new Strada's, wala rin aux fan.
