I have replenished my clutch twice now, but the correct silicon fluid should be used, 10,000CST at a minimum. If it's not been filled with silicon it's a no go!
Temperature shouldn't make much difference to the viscosity - if it's got silicon in. But the fluid will take a little while to return to chamber one after being driven for a while, once in chamber 1 it should feel stiff again.
Here's the test:
1. Do the fan blades resist turning after the cars sat for 15 minutes or so?
2. Do you hear a 'roar' from the engine at start
3. Can you hear a roar when the fan cuts in at around 90dec water temp?
If no to any of the above then it's either been refilled with incorrect fluid or the fluid has leaked away again.
Remember, why did it need refilling - I can tell you - the poxy thing's worn out! That's why I've had to refill mine twice. Only solution is to buy a new one.
Talking of buying....
Does any of you friendly US guys want to do me a favor and find out the price for a Sachs Part No:2100 015 031 is from the US
Would be REALLY appreciated.
Cheers
