bigjohnthomas, you make no sense whatsoever in your post, please do not clog up the thread with any more mind numbing idiocy and please refrain from making a joke of people with mental health issues.
My uncle got that
He had to have strong antibiotic for 3 months an an upside down umbrella shoved down his master of ceremonies Airthies, sorry but I am unable to translate the first part of your previous post into English so I will not be able to respond. As for 'volunteering and reporting' I will graciously bow out of that as it seems no point trying to give information on this topic as no one seems to take it seriously nor have an open mind regarding it.
twin-turbo, there a two reason for inquiring into the removal of the viscous fan.
Firstly, all the Land Rovers I have owned I have removed the viscous fan and there has been a noticeable difference in the engines performance. It is quite common for Land Rover owners with a 200 and 300tdi engine to do this, not just me.
Secondly, even if the viscous coupling is brand new there is still centrifugal force being place upon the engine from it. But let's face it I doubt there are many MK6 Transits with a new viscous fan attached so therefor, many are old resulting in a small amount of oscillation along with more centrifugal force, hence, more power being taken from the engine. How much power is unknown at present. Someone did offer some values of this but when I asked what formula/equation was used to calculate this I did not receive a response.
There are many factors to be taken into consideration regarding the power needed to operate the viscous coupling/fan such as: -
Age
Bearing wear on the shaft driving it
Fan being unbalanced due to parts missing or even a build up of mud/dust/road film which has gathered on it
Is the coupling activating only when necessary, for example: when the engine is at a certain temperature
These are just few examples and reasons for removing it, as the factors stated above change so will the force or power required to operate it.
I'll be measuring the surface area of the radiator at some point at the weekend when at my workshop, if this proves to be of similar quantities as the radiator in a Land Rover than I shal run the transit for a bit without the fan and see what happens
I sympathize with you in relation to being Dyslexic. I too have that condition, mine mainly affects my reading.
I also have another condition, ASD or Asperger syndrome. This has affected my neurodevelopment, one specific part of this is not understanding implicit writing to well, I only tend to understand logic and explicit writing.
For instance, your first post on this thread that has remained, I honestly do not know what you are referring to?
But not all is bad news with myself, as losing one ability I gained another. I scored in the top 3% of the country in an IQ test undertook by Mensa, my thinking is all aimed towards logic lol.
Everything is literal to me. If you do not like it that is your problem.
I have no time for idiocy or rudeness.
