91 Terrano Cooling suggestions

Quick trip to a car yard would tell you that.

Have you thought of getting your cooling system flushed?

Check fan belt, water pump etc

Hi,

My son has one of these and his has an additional thermo fan installed on the grill side of his radiator. This was done by the previous owner we believe.

This works well as without it the vehicle does run hot especially while in 4wd.

As far as I know, the fan is just wired to his ignition switch and only runs when the engine is running.

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers

G'day
I suppose you've read all the info I posted previously.
The radiator in the earlier 2.7l petrol 4 pot was a 1 row job so that won't be any good to you... maybe the V6 had a bigger one.
Eventually I repacked the viscous hub with fresh silicon oil (Toyota sil. oil about $14 a tube) and that made the most difference of anything I tried. It still gets warm but nowhere near what it used to.
There are a couple of tricks to doing a good job here, let me know if you want some advice.
I'm not sure that there is room behind the grill for another fan, at least not with the air con. condensor sitting in there. But if someone has already done it, who am I to argue.
The sub-radiator refered to in the manual is for the E24 series (whatever they are - the E20 was a van) with the TD27 engine, but where you would fix the sub-radiator in the Terrano is a mystery to me though.
Anyway feel free to contact me.

I don't know if it makes any difference but there was a suggestion made on this forum about posting email addresses. (see my response above)
Someone said that posting in the long form stops shysters trolling forum sites automatically scanning for addy's written in the normal format.
Seemed to make sense to me anyway.
Just some advice but you may be a wizz at all this stuff (I'm just an unco at it)

The best option would be repacking the silicon hub and flushing you radiator. As Oskar has alreaady said the larger v6 cooler will fit in nicely as well.
