My off side radiator fan has stopped working
It goes in Monday for a clean out but obviously may need a new fan, my plan is to order one from web and return if not needed to prevent the bumper having to be removed twice
Design911 list a left and right radiator fan at £233
Porscheshop have a "radiator fan motor" at £195 but does not mention a left or right hand version
anyone know the situation with these
Thanks in advance

Mine stopped earlier this year - a bit of a shock as the other side compensates for it by running very loudly at high speed.
Before you get the bumper taken off you can check the fan by removing the wheel arch inner liner (remove the front wheel first) and spinning the fan by hand. Sometimes a bit of gravel can jam it and just doing this will allow it to work again. Before I put the liner back on I checked, firstly with a 12v power source, and secondly by running the car up to temp that it was working.
All good since.

khushy Same happened to me, but no warranty. The control unit is a lot cheaper than a fan too. You can get to the fans and control unit by removing the wheel arch liners. If you pull the plug on the fan, you can put 12v on the fan motor to test it. The control unit is on the right hand side, and easy enough to replace. It was about £100 iirc.
