Cooling fan replacement
!UPDATE! So I am probably going to do an aftermarket pusher fan attached to the front of that radiator and condenser fan assembly I got quoted by a local shop $1400 to replace it and a new part is like $260 from a parts store such as O’Reilly so I am just going to do an aftermarket it seems a lot less time consuming to replace and a lot less work plus it gives ease of access for repairing if it goes out again and they have a more durable motor in them that don’t typically go out in and around 40k miles I appreciate the input from everyone!
Hello, I have a 2013 smart for two passion (sorry for the far away picture I didn’t want to go out in this heat dome lol) and so about a year and a half ago maybe longer my cooling fan motor went bad so I have that thudding sound when I turn on my A/C I know I should have replaced it sooner but didn’t see A/C as a necessity well this year I do lol if y’all took talks to a shop to get it replaced how much did it cost I would do it myself as I’m a mechanic by trade ( heavy machinery and diesel mechanic ex small engine and vehicle mechanic) I just don’t want to be out in this heat doing it for one and two I broke my leg back in June so I am in a boot and being in the heat in my boot just sounds like not a good time lol so I’m trying to go the easy route if yall have any advice for costs that would be wonderful because I mean the part is only like $180 and then of course I have a Friday evening or Saturday morning gone replacing it so how much did yall pay taking it to a shop?
