vicous fan hub thingy
vicous fan hub thingy
Replacing the water pump today, adn thought while the fan is off I would replace the silcoin oil stuff in the fan hub thingy. Went to toyota and got the stuff, but couldnt remember how much it needs so only got 2 of them (there 18ml each). Any one know the correct amount they need, also I dont mind it kicking in a bit earlier.
Petrol is a bin job because you cant pull em apart, although I have a few petrol ones spare that I am going to see if I can tap it, fill it and then put a small plug in it. We'll see how we go. I run twin thermo's now in a stainless shroud that runs excellent. When I had the MQ i put two tubes in that was about 10mm ea from my recollection and the td42 is similar, besides that what we put in a mates td42 as well and it is really stiff, but still has some slack although very minimal.

Petrol, but I wouldnt mind doing my spare one from my diesel.
anyone know how much goop goes in?
What are you on about??
It smells like a TD42
It rattles like a TD42
I feed it like it's a TD42
It even looks like a TD42
So I am leaning towards it being a TD42.
I ended up putting 2 tubes of the stuff in it. They are toyota p/n 08886-10001, well at least thats what I think it was. And there is 18ml in each.
They cost about $22 bucks for the 2 tubes (not each but for both).
But I buggerede it up and didnt squezze the last bit out of one of them so it aint quite got the 36ml of new stuff in it.
And on the way into work this morning drive up a hill with the brake on in 2nd gear foot to the floor, and the it sound like the fan did kick in which is the first time it has done that for ages.
Well tested it on the first real hot day yesterday coming home from work.
Had the foot down with the a/c on and it did kick in at a much lower temp on the factory dash gauge than before. It used to get to about halfway, now it gets to just above operating temp of thermostat then kicks in.
So I think that might be a good thing. Also I have taken the radiator cowling off to see what would happen, answer is havnt noticed anything yet, I am guessing this will change when driving slowly off-road.
So I am
so far

Bazzle have heard that one, but seems to be working alright at the moment. Just left it off as an experiment. As I didn't have any coolant at home so the radiator was to come out again to drain and flush it when I get some. Then I will put it back on.
