Hi,
Any of you do the fan clutch mod on a hundred? Worth it? Advisable?
Our LX470 engine coolant temp climbs above 200F even above 205F if I let it, idling in a line of cars at the border. I am not happy that the engine can't cool itself to optimal temp when idling. Admittedly it's sitting there running the AC in a hot environment for an hour or more.
I have a blue clutch (a spare one even) and after reading the threads am contemplating changing the oil to 25K CST. Should I also re-index the aperture?
Good idea?
Our LX is an 01 with the OEM AC condenser fan, which does come on...but still temps climb. What would you advise?
With forward motion and air flow, temps come back down well, even when towing etc...its just the idle I am worried about.
Thanks all!
