WELL... yesterday I got a single replacement large fan from euro car parts which they said was a direct fit. Turns out it didn't fit so while the old fan was out I removed the rear cover and took it apart and it was caked in dust and crap so I took it apart and sprayed electrical contact...

Iv seen something about replacing a fan but unsure which it is that needs replacing, but also seen that some have had to replace a control unit or something on them? Would any of...
