1986 745 Turbo, B230FT, M46, 160,000 miles, all stock.
The noise from the engine cooling fan in first & second gear is annoying - even when cold.
I suspect the 35-year old fan clutch is not disengaging at low speeds and when the engine is cold.
It's been this way for years, but I've ignored it since I don't drive it much. The car's not driven in HOT
temps with or without the A/C on anymore.
Still would be nice to fix it though.

FCP has this one from Aisin as a stock replacement. They say it's a "Tropical Fan Clutch".

Cooling isn't my issue, it's noise.
Have you used this on a B230FT and was it noisy?
