Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think the viscous coupling in my fan (V6 3.4L prado) isn't working too well. I heard that I can crack it open and top up the oil (or whatever is in there)... does anyone have any more details on how to do that or where to get the 'oil' from??

Thanks!

The silicone fluid is available from your toyota dealer. It was about $50 a bottle last time I bought some.

Take you fan off

undo the screws holding the clutch together

fill it up with fluid

put it back together.

That's the extent of it really.

Thanks, sounds better than getting another clutch!

Its no where near that expensive. You should get it for under $20 a bottle, you'll probably need 2. When did you last buy it GWsteve?

about 4 years ago from a toyota dealer.

Might have got 2 bottles for $46 inclusive now I think about it.

Steve.

U need to get a better dealer

i paid under 10$ a bottle for it. They are only small bottles!

I paid about $20 for two bottles.

Hope that helps.

Yep, it was about $10.10 a bottle.

I cracked the thing open and put one bottle's worth in. How am I meant to know how much should be in there?
