Hi all,
I was left stranded on the roadside by my volvo for the second week in a row. Last weeek mass air flow sensor failed this week noticed my temp rising and smelled burning wires looked under the hood and the motor for the radiator cooling fan was smoking. L was able to get it into a parking lot before the cooling started to boil out the expansion tank cap. I was able to get a new motor delivered to the hotel by friday. Any idea how complex a repair it will be can it be done in a parking lot. I have changed the timing belt my self and few other repairs just wondering how hard and what tools I will need. Will it be ok to drive at highway speed w/o the fan I pulled the relay wire, I would love to get the car home and work on it
Thanks

Pulling the fan shroud and motor is fairly easy. 2 Torx screws hold it in place, but if you have a turbo, the intercooler hose needs to come off. The 4 bolts holding the relay tray should come off as well.

If you decide to drive home, leave the AC OFF, cruise at the lowest rpm possible while being safe, and avoid any traffic lights. If the temp starts going up, roll down the windows and turn tthe cabin temp to high.
