Guest Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi hit a pheasant and smashed the upper grille. Local garage fitted a new one when doing the tyres and all seemed ok. Recently noticed the fan running when I wouldn’t expect it to need to. Some googling suggested this is due to the electronics playing safe, if the shutters don’t work properly. I dislodged a jammed shutter today and thought that’s nailed it but the fan still comes on after I see the shutters open and shut immediately after starting. Question - do the cooking fans always come on or is it impacted by say the aircon settings too? Also, after starting from cold I’m assuming the shutters close immediately to enable the engine to warm asap. Does anyone have any details of what should happen and any specific tests I can perform. Done want to pay the dealer £120/hr to tell me that the £200 plastic thing needs replacing!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s actually two fans but the lower one doesn't come on. I put the heating/aircon back on and again the upper fan started. Perhaps the problem is resolved since un-jamming one of the shutters.

rbitton782 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 GWHiI have ecoboost 2.0, my and lot's of my friends disassemble the shutter plastics completely only left the electrical engine and everything is A OK.If you are living in hot environment like me (Israel), it's highly recommended to remove them (we checked it with OBDII scanner) the results are much more better, the intercooler is much more efficient (cooler). Another thing, if you have problem with the shutter you will have engine management light on, and it cut your engine power, it's something noticeable.
