Hi
I had my A/C system refilled . The mechanic says the condenser fan was not working . I have checked the fuses and relays , all seems to be well , so I'm faced with pulling the fan ., which is the big beast you see when you open the bonnet .
It looks as if I need to dismantle a large amount of the front end to get at the bolts holding the fan . I've found mainly unhelpful wobbly you tube videos for other BMW's but nothing for the Z3
Has any one replaced this fan , and have any advice ?
I suspect the condenser fan may be overkill ,all the cooling air for the engine radiator passes through the condenser coils and is pulled through by the main engine cooling fan . I have no engine cooling problems even in 40C traffic jams
Thanks in advance
