ENGINE COOLING (4JK1/4JJ1) 6B-17 Fan Clutch with Cooling Fan Inspection and Repair Make necessary correction or parts replacement if
Visually inspect for damage, leak (silicon grease) or 1. Inspection (on-vehicle) a) Turn the fan clutch by hand when in a low temperature condition before starting the engine, and confirm that it can be turned readily. b) Start the engine to warm it up until the temperature at the fan clutch portion gets to around 85°C (185°F). Then stop the engine and confirm that the fan clutch can be turned with considerable effort (clutch torque) when turned by hand.
If the fan clutch rotates more readily, however, this indicates that the silicone grease is leaking internally.
Replace the fan clutch with a new one.
