| Chargecooler fan rotation fix |
|
|
Some Brabus Roadsters appear to have a manufacturers wiring fault. The fan (as standard) blows air into the radiator (clockwise rotation), but because it is a rear mounted fan it is forcing air against the natural airflow through the radiator, reducing its efficiency.
There are other potential issues with the fan running the wrong way, and that is the fan will now 'push' debris into the radiator, potentially flattening the fins.
It is possible to swap the wires with the radiator in situ.
There is a single clip on the connector, just press this in and pull the cables apart.
Use a thin scredriver to just release the tabs on the cable retaining clip.
Again use a thin watchmakers screwdriver (or paperclip) to release the retaining pin on the blade connection itself.
Gently pull on the cables at the same time.
The wires should now be free to be removed.
Swap the wires over, and press back into the plug, they should secure themselves into position.
With the wires clipped into place and the blades are straight in the connector, clip back into place the cable retaining clip.
Now the connectors have been changed just clip back into the main connector in the car.
Reattach the fan (if removed) using this guide. |
