    Default Auxilliary / electrical fan

    Question: Is it possible to replace the auxilliary fan (the electrical one in front of the A/C condenser) without removing both the fan and the condensor out of the car ? I see no instruction about that on the Bentley

    yes it is. You need to remove the bumper (durr) the metal trim piece that runs the width of the car under the lights and (from memory) that's it.

    Here's my 5 when I replaced the fan resistor. Remove the trim with the kindey grill in it will give easy(ish) access to the three nuts that hold on the fan (positioned 6 o'clock, 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock)
