The temps in my car were really going up past the middle a few weeks back. I got a new radiator installed and it brought down the temps, the car is starting to warm up again and while idling it will hit the middle mark and if left there long enough to the 0. The car has a new water pump, radiator and 180 T-Stat. Im guessing the fan clutch is going south. A buddy of mine told me to run the car until it gets hot then try and turn the fan by hand, if the fan moves then the clutch is bad.. does that make any sense to anyone?
Can a bad fan clutch really affect the temps that much?
and why should i get the Heavy Duty 60 dollar unit over the $30 dollar unit.
Thanks in advance..
