Ve v8 thermo fan replacement

[cewing]

Just wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy an aftermarket thermo fan for an 09 v8. Online everyone is selling series 2 or series 1 v6 fans but there's nothing for the series 1 v8.

It's ticking loudly but working so I'm not worried about imminent failure, surely I'm not the only one to have had fan failure!

Thanks for that link. Gee $400, I wonder if that's a normal price? The v6 ones seem to be around the $200 mark, they couldn't be too different haha

You can actually buy the fan motor(s) from Holden. They are certainly less than $400.00. The swap over of the fan blades is quite straightforward.

Thanks pnlimo, for the benefit of anyone reading this in the future I called up Holden and enquired about the fan motor individually.
They are $290 each. The GM part number is 92191945. I'm getting one from the USA for $190 delivered.

Where did you order them from? I'm dealing with the same problem

This is the one I was going to order. I haven't heard the noise of late so I never went ahead, but I've got it saved. Good with a 10% off ebay sale too.

You do realise its USA?

Yes, that probably disqualifies the 10% coupon.
It's $200 delivered, much cheaper than buying it locally.
