Need to look at and possibly replace the AC Condenser fan in an 00' Boxster S. In the repair manual it says to remove the front tire...doesn't say which. Anyone know? I am thinking the right but don't want to waste time and cuss too much.

Thanks for info.

The AC condenser fan is also the cooling fan, you have to remove the front wheel on the same side of the defective fan. It's up to you to know which fan is defective (fault codes), left or right.

Its not just a question of removing the wheel Don, the bumper has to com off as well. Don't think a fan throws any codes, does it?

Ordered a Litronics sensor today from the dealer and he seems to think the fans don't code either. He's no Einstein and grupmy. Try to avoid them and support my independent parts houses but didn't meet the minimum order amount.

Thanks for the help guys. Not a 60s muscle car that I'm comfortable with but after this project maybe I'll start contributing instead of leaching info.

Thanks again and Cheers...off to the garage.

Nice day, too much Red Bull...too windy to fly.

Took the wheel and liner off, lubed the suspect fan and finally poked around and paid attention. Seems the groan is from the passenger side INSIDE. It only appears when the AC switch in on, not during fresh air fan operation. Diving into the barely helpful manual... Must be a cold air pump or AC only interior fan?? Seems weird.

Cheers,

Could be the blower fan for the heat and AC...mine was making a sound after I replaced my heater core.

Fairly spendy unit so I disassembled and lubed it. Been fine ever since. Not too terribly dificult to remove and bench test with a 12v battery.

Sounds like a good suspect. Nothing called such in the repair manual, the German to English translation thing... Please give me some insight as to where to find the thing. I'm all over it tomorrow.

Much thanks,

Don
