Default Refill Fan Clutch with Silicone Oil .

My Fan clutch isn't engaging anymore and i have been told that it need to be replaced due to the "budget" thing (Last month i have replaced my radiator and steering rack and Labor costs me more then 2000 $ ) i want to add silicone oil to my fan clutch . is there anyone who did this in his Ride ?

A new fan clutch is less than $100 and very easy to DIY if you have access to an air hammer.

There's a reason they're called "stealers"

This is a nice unit, Borg Warner makes ACM fan clutches... they also make audi's turbos.

I would buy this (did) and run it.
No need for a dealership part on this.
