Re: never thought possible

Assume there was no AC condenser in front of that, guess the fan just sucked it in place. Was that affecting cooling?

Re: never thought possible

that's what I'm saying, ac condenser in place... the car had never had a bolt turned on it. almost zero clearence between ac/radiator.

I wanted people to see what happend to me, so If your dual-fan third gen is still running hot after checking/changing everything (ie) sensors, switches, relay's and stat.... you might wanna take a look between your ac condenser and radiator.

Re: never thought possible

That bag didn't get sucked in there while you were driving, it happened while you were stopped and the fan(s) were running.

Damn thats amazing. At one stage I had a couple of pusher fans in front of the rad that were always sucking up plastic bags, no ac. But having one crawl up in that little gap like the blob - wow.
