I have seen plenty of posts saying the viscous fans are not needed. need to be removed , no use  etc etc but what are the benefits of taking it off , mine is still in place , what am i getting if it comes off . Its a 2.5 td maybe i am missing something blindingly obvious! Thanks in advance.

You should post this in Omega General Help mate - you'll get more response there.

This section is for test posts only.

You lose that awful noise when it fails


Seriously, it makes the electric fans kick in more, and the intercooler fan (which seizes if not used).

I junked my one on the Range Rover 300tdi It made a stack of difference to the performance and made it run hotter Kenlowe replacement fitted i must add.

Thanks.
maybe mods could move to general (should have been there anyway!!) I will have a go at getting it off, will i lose the whooshing noise on acceleration?

Yes, you will lose that noise

If you are getting that noise really bad, thats a sign the thing is knackered anyway.


Store the fan upright - you can always put it on again if necessary. Do not store flat.
