It may say that but believe me it is not for a diesel, they are referring to the cowling which is the same, but the control box will be different.

Also you will still have to remove the old fan from the car to replace with a new fan, therefore it would be best to remove the fan or gain access to the control box and check what is going on first, you may only need a PCB repair which is a lot less cost than replacing a new fan.

Where is the fuse ? Close the battery I found a fuse box, I removed fuses one by one but the fan did not stop...

If my memory serves me right it is fuse 4 under the bonnet fuse box next to the battery, 80amp large also try the FL4 other than that unplug the loom in the NS wheel arch liner.

You need a PGJ000110 cooling fan

If I were you I would investigate first before buying a fan, then if you do need a fan I am sure Jules will supply a Revotec one for you.

My work place is 10 miles from my home and the speed limit is 70km/h (so close to 50mph)

Sorry. Spell check.... the air con will be poor under 50...

I have disconnected the fan fuse and it seems to be OK. weather windy and rainy (we are not so far from Cornwall by the sea)

I am planning to remove the front bumper. I juste need to find a place to do it. I have contacted Frenchmike, and he is OK to have a look...

Thanks anyway for your help. I'll give you news when everything will be fixed.

By the way I will change as well the resistor for the "Rover 75 MG ZT Radiator Fan Hi-Spec Low Speed Resistor - Full Installation Kit" I have found on Ebay.

Arhhh the famous gold resistor we fit quite a few of these at our nano meets which start in March.

make sure you use heat shrink on all connections so they are water tight.

Unplug/fuse out for fan. Brittany is not a hot place at this time of year. 70kph/4th gear your engine will only get warm because the thermostat allows it, but it won't get hot unless you are stationary for long periods (several minutes). Watch the temp needle, and if necessary, switch off. BMW diesels not prone to gasket failure, like K series petrol engines. But get it fixed/inspected when you have time.
