My AC was not blowing cold air as cool as usual. A trip to the AC guy found out the electric fan in front of the engine was not turning on. He knocked the motor with the end of a long screwdriver and the motor came on. Obviously he recommends replacing this fan which is so expensive when he called volvo.

Is 4 years considered normal life span for these fans? Can this be fixed rather than replaced with a new fan? Anything I should investigate first?

And is it true with an inoperative AC fan, the main radiator fan would need to work harder?

Thanks!
