So I'm probably not the first or last, but I just took out my 914 to go to the store and the heater hose came loose, got sucked into the fan and took out some blades (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Is there a different fan for the 2.0 (74) or do they all use the same one? PN? I assume the engine has to be dropped - correct? I'll be posting a WTB, but feel free to let me know if you have one.... Thanks, Scott |

Tin comes out through the top of the engine compartment. Takes a little effort to work past the compartment seal, but it should slip out of there. Just went through that motion recently while replacing my alternator... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
The fasteners holding the pulley to the fan are best not removed while the fan is on the engine. IIRC, the bolt heads are on the back side of the fan and will spin if you're able to get the nuts on the front broken free. More headache than it's worth. Working the tin out from in front of the engine is your best bet to get the clearance needed for fan removal. |
