    Update on the cooling system on my M30.

    I seriosuly do not think the fan clutch, new fan clutch, is functioning properly.
    I did the testing procedure that shogun listed(thank you very much by the way), and I can stop the fan from spinning with no effort. I cant feel air being pulled through the front of the grill either.

    The aux fan comes on after fully hot. The temp gauge stays at just above normal and inbetween normal and hot.

    If anyone would like to discuss this with a lof of detail i would love to talk about it as it is getting frustrating.

    Thanks to those who have responded.

    -Scott
