Why do you need a cooling fan in a Volvo?
Your Volvo’s cooling fan, also known as the radiator fan, is an essential component of the cooling system in your vehicle. As we mentioned before, the cooling system is a complex set of parts that helps to regulate the internal temperature of the engine to avoid overheating.
What kind of fan clutch does Volvo use?
I decided to try a Volvo TROPICAL, HEAVY DUTY FAN CLUTCH. It’s an original Volvo item, made by Aisin for Volvos in hotter (tropical) climates. And since Aisin is the original Volvo part manufacturer, it should last!
How to fix intermittent a / C in a Volvo?
Once the AC clutch obviously disengages itself and begins blowing warm air, turn off the AC with the button on the center console. Give the clutch a few minutes to cool down before turning the AC back on. If the clutch has cooled down enough, it should then reengage without any issues.
What kind of thermostat does a Volvo have?
In most parts of the U.S., your Volvo will likely have a 92 degree Celcius (197.6 F) thermostat or an 87 degree Celcius (188.6 F) from the factory. I think the hotter thermostat was used in many parts to help reduce emissions. In most places, the 92C will be way too hot.
Why does my Volvo engine keep overheating?
One common reason for engine overheating, especially during the warmer months of the year, is a malfunctioning cooling fan. Your Volvo’s cooling system is what keeps the engine running at an optimal temperature, and without a working cooling fan the system cannot perform its job effectively.
Why is my radiator fan not working in my car?
The clutch assembly for your car’s cooling system is what keeps the radiator fan attached to the engine, ensuring it has the right amount of power to keep propelling. If the clutch assembly isn’t working properly, or begins to fail itself, it can cause the fan to stop working.
