Volvo 240 mechanical cooling fans, direct or all with clutch?
Time to start thinking about the cooling system of the redblock when I get around to putting the motor back in, did any of the 240 (or 740) models come with direct driven fans or did they all use a clutch setup?

There are two styles of 240 clutch fans also. Early one with aluminum blades, and of course the later one with plastic/nylon blades.

If you get a fan clutch from either a 240T or a 740T (red clutch) it is a heavy duty clutch and will offer better cooling if that is what you are after.

thanks....
According to fcpgroton, they are thermal clutches? Is that correct? (at least a few of the turbo specific models I looked at) |

They have a bi-metal spring in the front that operates the valve that operates silicone oil and it clutches.

Looked thermal to me. The back (or front? Don't remember now) had a pretty temp-sensitive looking coil on it when I removed it to do the water pump.
