Removing the Auxilliary Fan
 

Can someone please help with removing the auxilliary fan on a 1998 2.8 Quattro A4. I have the one screw that holds it on out and understand that ring needs to be turned but it won't really tuen.:confused:

It turns, it's just usually stuck. Figure out which way to turn it and tap it with a hammer or something.

You mean the big nut behind the fan that attaches it to the pulley? It's a reverse-thread.

no. you take that screw out and on then on the very bottom of the fan there is a little clip latch. pull up on it and rotate the fan assembly out. you may need a mechanics mirror to look down there to see what i'm talking about.

I ended up tapping it with a hammer and it came loose, thanks for the the help.

lmao i guess that works. you probably broke the lower clip.
