Hi, thanks for your clear and detail advice!
It sounds like the fan clutch is on all the time. Is it serviceable? I have got some mechanical and electrical repair background so it should not be a problem for me unless some special jigs are required.
Or should it be replaced?

Thanks!

Hello,

Could anyone please advise what is the logic of the radiator fan's operation?
Is it engaged all the time?
Does it spins faster with the higher revs?

I am pretty sure that with higher revs there was only engine's noise getting up. However, when I used the 318is last time, I noticed a clear hauling noise with the revs up.
Is this the way it is supposed to be?

Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you!
