Is it dangerous to keep driving with a failed cooling fan?

Yes, overheating can cause serious engine damage — if the temperature gauge is rising and the fan isn’t running, stop and let the engine cool rather than continuing to drive.

Can the fan motor be repaired instead of replaced?

In some cases a specialist can replace just the motor or bearings, but a full assembly replacement is often more practical.

What is the fan made of?

A plastic fan blade assembly driven by an electric motor.

What is this part and why does it matter?

The radiator cooling fan draws air through the radiator to help dissipate engine heat, especially important at low speed or when stationary when there’s little natural airflow.

Frequently asked questions

At speed, natural airflow through the radiator provides cooling — at low speed or idle, the vehicle relies on this fan, so a failure shows up mainly in stop-and-go driving or when stationary.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
