Default Vibration when visco kicks in
After a mud tour up into the mountains when my visco turns on engine start vibrating. When I turn on air-con the same vibration kicks in!
Any thoughts? To dirty radiator?
Which are main risks when I will wash my engine?
Cheers
John

likely mud on the fan... doesnt take much to create quite a pronounced vibration.

be carefull washing around the electric AC fan motor ( burried right up inside the shroud ) as its completely unsealed. Its actually the same motor as the petrol fan and has a lousy reputation

@Cheers MightyMouse
in order to avoid any risk:
I thought to dismantle visco and wash separately the fan.
It's some hussle I recon but it's safer. I've already done this operation when replaced both of my belts cause was to lazy to take of ARB front bumper and ASFIR front skid.

Ps: regarding lousy stuff....neither the CRD alu radiator is on a "safer side" though!
Have a wonderful wheeling week-end out there!
