Thank you for this! The fan on my nissan last week started making this same exact clacking noise and vibrating inside and I thought maybe something was loose inside the front grill assembly.
While I understand replacing the entire sub assembly, rather than just the bearing, seeing as this was a PT Cruiser, I would think the recommended repair would be to also replace the rest of the vehicle
Nice work! 👍🍻 I had a customer with one of these, and the dual fan setup failed. The PT Cruiser is my nemesis! Every part of that engine is a nightmare to reach, especially the timing belt. I get a feeling of dread whenever I see one, LOL. Best day of my life was hauling it to the scrapyard after he ran it with no coolant. 😁
Just did the same on a Proton, but was able to get the shroud out without removing any hoses. Unfortunately no replacement fan available, so had to make a plan to fit another type there. Turns out a VW fan will fit almost perfectly, just with minor work on the mounting holes, and a bit of wiring work. Now have a car which does not overheat any more in traffic.
Is there a fix or no? Yes I understand that if my tire is punctured I can buy a new car. Think we all know that… but is there a fix to the noise? Instead of buying a new fan?
I just had a mechanic tell me there was frame damage that was causing the nose, and he refused to replace the fan until I got the frame repaired. Which he claimed was about 140 bucks.
@@alexanderthereacter8760 if you are comfortable doing it yourself do it. Just be aware that it could possibly cause an alignment problem (possible but not likely). Keep an eye on your tire wear pattern just in case.
This is just REPLACING rather than REPAIRING. The idea here should be cost friendly. So rather than replace the entire fan assembly and spend a fortune, why not just get to the problem itself which is the fan bearing and just replace the bearing with a new one.
I'm a simple guy. I see a realfixesrealfast video, I click, I watch, and I Like.
Awesome repair from a great repair engineer. But dear sir Mr. Duana you are awesome and wonderful! Nobody can replace you.
your very lucky to be working and learning under a master !!!! trust me

Thank you for sharing knowledge 😊
Thank you, Dwayne.!

I have a 07 Jetta 2.5 and the blades broke and it's loud and shakes. Is there anyway to fix the blades until I can acquire a new fan

Wow, I suppose that is possible. Components that move can cause vibration and do need to be held in place.

Actually He said the lower core support has been pushed back, and he refused to use a winch or a come-along to pull it out

Most parts already come assembled
Like 👍👍🛑🙏
Is the only solution just replacint the whole fan assembly? No way to retighten the fan?
nope, you have to replace it.
That's a horrible manufacturer defect. Unreal!
Tell me about it, my nissan with 28k miles has the same problem . It is a 2017 though

Are you Jr.?
All you had to say is PT cruiser. 👎🏻
Oh how I HATE these vehicles! It was as if the engineer had a vendetta against auto techs ...
