E46 320d

Recommended Posts

Howdy, got an issue with the fan on my E46, it flutters (revs up and down) and sometimes wont work for several kms, not handy on a gravel road with windows up and 30 degrees outside! Price for part and how easy to install or could it be something else?

Sounds like the final stage resister... best get it checked... not an easy DIY

Yep as Glenn said, fan speed resistor. Very common on E46 and E39.

Cheers guys, I'm kinda getting sick of handing over cash for this car at the moment so is the resistor an easy replacement? I've got an axe and some hammers in the garage...

E46 ones are female front bums to access. We have a special tool that makes it slightly easier. I recommend handing over cash for this ones.

Always new with these.... you'll know why when you try to do it... you don't like doing them twice

Only available through a dealer or are they available cheaper elsewhere?

They are quite expensive through BMW, don't know whether they are avaliable aftermarket?

Could try Milland on TM.
