Radiator fan replacement

[Dinxx]

Need some advice guys. The radiator fan of our xtrail stopped working. took it to the casa last week and they gave a quote of 10k plus and labor for the fan replacement. I just want to know if the fan can still be fixed? and not replaced entirely. if yes, maybe i can find another shop who can do the job.

Just take it to a electrical shop and they can find an alternative or try dropping by the surplus shops and look for a motor or assembly that can fit. What matters is that it can be fixed to work in line with the ECU signal to turn it off and on when needed.

kinda early for your radiator fan to pack up, ha...

could be just a corroded thermoswitch (the thing that turns the fan on or off automaticaly with the engine heat) failing to supply the proper signal to turn on to the fan motor.

if the motor is really broken (have an electrician apply current to the motor, if it turns, ok pa yan, if its dead, sira yung loob ng motor), i suggest a high quality replacement part na lang... too expensive naman at 10,000 yung singil sa casa. i can buy a brand new replacement radiator and another fan for my honda with that kind of money.

buy from established nissan parts sellers in banawe or anyplace malapit sa inyo. bring the dead motor as sample. if they ask kung ano kotse galing yun, just say na galing sa sentra para hindi mahalan hehehehe

grabe naman magtake advantage yang casa na yan. tanong ka rin sa iba pang casa sa ibang location. sabagay mahal nga kung buong assembly. pero kung sa reliable na shop mo ipapagawa ttyagain nila ma-isolate ang problem down to the piyesa level. baka nga motor lang or switch lang. kahit hindi orig brand basta high quality replacement at swak dun sa assembly pwede na yan.

Thanks for the reply guys. The casa (nissan gallery ortigas) almost had me there. good thing i didnt have the money that day.

I will try to find a good shop tomorrow.

Usually you can have the motor replaced or fixed. Much cheaper than at the casa with the same durability & reliability.

Not sure if they can do it, you can try calling up SPEEDYFIX which is located along Shaw.
