Has anyone here ever had to repair or replace the A/C condenser fan?
Does the A/C system need to be evacuated to remove the fan assembly? Looking at mine, it seems trapped between the condenser and the A/C lines, and I can’t see a way to get it out without moving one or the other.
Am I missing some clever way to snake it out?
Picture is obviously not mine, mine is still in the car... mocking me.
As MK3 Supra people, we seldom get good news regarding parts. It's usually, "I managed to find a 30-year-old OEM sensor in some junkyard."
Well, here's some good news: I just received a brand-new OEM Toyota fuel sending unit (PN 83320-80051) from a Toyota dealer for my 1987 Supra.
Better yet, it was cheaper than buying one from some random eBay seller for $500+, or gambling on another used 40-year-old unit. $316 out the door, $272 for the part ; $316 shipped to SoCal. I got it from Ourisman Toyota of Richmond, my local dealer wanted $500+ for it... but google.
Could I have repaired my original? Probably. But then I'm potentially repairing it again in 5, 10, or 15 years... and hoping the parts are still salvageable. Now it will be my son's problem in 30 years.
This sending unit is part of Toyota's A70 Supra GR Heritage Parts program:
Toyota GR Heritage Parts – A70 Supra
I'm posting this because some Toyota dealers don't even seem to realize these parts are available. It may take some calling around, and dealer pricing varies a lot, but you might be surprised by what Toyota can still get.
Hopefully this helps you guys.
🍺 Here's to my son cursing me out after I'm long gone.
I need drawings for my patent, anyone local?
