4th Gen Radiator issue - Honda Prelude Forum

ludeboy95 · 09-02-2010, 09:40 AM

I have a 2.3L and the radiator has 2 fans. I need to replace the one on the driver's side. I believe it is connected to the AC compressor. What is the name of this fan? I know the one on the passenger side has 5 blades and the driver side has 4 blades, so they must be different, right? Should be an easy swap. 4 bolts and a clip? Any help on this would be great.

Will this work? It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the dealer. Includes motor as well.

Gotta Rant here:

A: Nightmare to get to bottom bolt. Had to lift car and drop plastic shield.
Mine was rusted beyond belief. Little PB Blaster and good to go.
B: I ordered from AM-Parts and they sent a fan, said it was the right fan, Not even close. Both mounting tabs on top in wrong position.
C: They bolt on the bottom I couldn't get to earlier, well the new fan tab that mounts there does not reach.

Thank god I have a great mechanic, who said when you buy aftermarket this is what you get, did some rigging and a few washers and long bolts and it is now working.

What a nightmare for a silly fan. My opinion, buy OEM if you can.

Thanks for listening to my rant.
