Has anybody found a solution the the electric fan issue on S4s and above?
Once the bearings start to go the fans get noisy and fail. problem is you can't rebuild them (well certainly not easily - I am about to destroy a knackered one to have a look) and they just are not available new. I have not been able to find a straight replacement for any sort of respectable price and on top of that the fan housings are often damaged by people being too aggressive taking them out - or not undoing the oil unions. Strikes me a redesigned housing and a pair of common off the shelf fans would be a good solution - but the housing would be expensive to make.
Has Anybody found a suitable answer?
