Overheating Problem

Recommended Posts

Hi can anyone help with this?

 

Just bought a VR6 and have experienced overheating.

 

The needle was showing 110 degrees but the warning light began flashing.

 

The oil temp was showing 126 degrees!

 

This was only for a 3-4 mins as I was very nearly home at this point. I realised the fans hadn't come on (they had been doing so far but sounded rough). After investigating I realised the fans were jammed and would only turn with considerable force by hand at which point pieces of alluminium swarf began dropping out from the secondary fan's centre. The fans then began to work and were considerably easier to turn by hand so I presume the bearing has had it?

 

Are these fans still available or has anyone fitted a Kenlo secondary fan?

 

Also could anyone tell me whether I'm likely to have damaged anything driving at this temp?

 

Thanks for your help
