    It seems that the OEM brand is Borg Warner. A Land Rover original fan has a "bwcs" marking on the blades and here, someone posted "If there bwcs is a borg warner".

    I'm afraid of ending up with the same problem I have now. Mine cools fine. But the noise is what annoys me. It was replaced new, about five years ago. It seem like it is always on. The viscous coupling is always making too much "drag" even in cold. As far as I know it should be: 1 a bit of drag...

    Hi all, Can anyone confirm if FACET is the OEM brand for the cooling fan of a diesel P38? Thanks in advance

    Well, I tried this before as I fine tuned the present FIP and it wasn't that hard at all. Maybe I was lucky and it will never be that easy for me again... :o Once again, thank you for the tips.

    Thanks wammers. I have another FIP. I hope it is better. I think it is. Another thing. What is the best practice on FIP timing. Can the FIP timing be adjusted dynamically, using "Timing modulation" between 45% 55%? Should I do static timing only? In this case. if timing modulation if off...

    Still no firing problems until today. Now I get repeatedly the following error. Note that I clear ECU error upon start and this were record with engine running. -------------------------------------------------------------- NANOCOM - EDC.APP - EDC faults file FUEL FLOW VALUE OUT OF RANGE...

    Hi all, I think I figured out what the problem was. Given the repeated error on the crank sensor, I measured the signal with a portable osciloscope at the ECU input. I noticed, that at cranking time, the signal was weak and sometimes non existent. So I took the sensor off, wipe the tip...

    I think i already know that document . Dont remember to see the electronic addons very detailed. But for now, problem is not the fip.

    I guess the only way will be to build a table and cross the live data temp with the fault reading temp.

    I will monitor power at glow plugs, but I must say that I have the same problem when hot also. Yesterday, everytime I started the engine it was a pain and 2 of them were when hot. Why do you say my temperature readings are high? I've been monitoring water temp using nanocom live data and it...

    Can anyone please help me understand what I did wrong when contacting BBS? What did I do wrong?

    I have a portable digital oscilloscope. Does any one know what should be the wave pattern that I should be looking for on the crank sensor? Volt amplitude?

    On pure luck I could shot a video of the non firing engine and then turn off, and on and it fires. This is what happens but sometimes it takes many retries. Check it out. No start - YouTube

    These logged readings were taken a minute after avery faults were cleared. When cold, the glow plug light comes on and when hot it doesn't. I'll check that temp sensor.
