Cooling fans and cowling

Hi All

The coupe has been getting too hot this week due to the cooling fans not cutting in, I have had a look over it using a multimeter and have found the problem to be the fan motors. What I need to know is are the fans and cowling unique to the coupe (V6) or are they the same on all 406's? I'm hoping there all the same as it will make sourcing some a lot easier :)

Cheers, Dave.

I think R reg makes it a D8 (I'm a bit out of touch with these things here) and a V6, let's see...

There's two sorts - Gate (1308P5) and Ecia (1308P6), they're not unique to the D8 406 coupe, they're unique to the D8 406 ES9J4 :? Different housings, same replacement fans, whuh? I wouldn't go chasing any other 406 either as they're all over the place (1 or 2, different wattages etc.)

Will you be trying Mr Ade over on the coupe club?

Well yes, apparently.

You're not on the coupe club, you're not on the coupe club :? The resident coupe breaker there.
