OVERHEATING (Part 1): Porsche 944 DIY Cooling Fan Replacement | DailyDriver944

My 944 is #overheating and it is driving me nuts.

On most days, I have to roll down my windows and put the heat up full blast to try vent hot air out of the engine bay - you can imagine how uncomfortable and sweaty it can become on hot days. It is also, of course, a reliability concern.

So I set out to fix this and my first stop is my broken cooling fan.
