    The fan I was taking about is the Secondary Air Injection pump not the main radiator fan* I noticed I said fan instead of the pump which has a fan in it that spins and sound like a fan*

    SAI system can be totally disabled through DAS system, I suggest you grab one, allows you to do all kind of crazy stuff.

    The fan is supposed to keep going bro wtf 😂😂😂 it’s a e55 the engine cools itself for 3-6 mins after you power off the hellcat is also like this . Don’t damage your engine

    • @HeyboysGarage

      You might have heard me wrong bro. It wasn’t the engine fan, it was the secondary air injection pump that vey loud and kicked on high. Nothing to do with the engine or engine oil cooler fan or fan. 🤘🏾

    • @zipazzz
      @zipazzz 2 місяці тому

      Loose connection increases resistance, therefore loading the alternator and generating heat

    only use bosch alternators and u can get around pulling the radiator by removing upper radiator support and fan and leaning it forward.

      They last very long and tend to not have issues. Keep up with oil changes and maintenance when the engine asks for it and they will last

    Im torn on getting something like this to replace my clk500... or a 2011 c63 amg... i do think the E55 would be more reliable, but the c63 would be a little newer so idk but it will need to make this choice soon i gotta sell my clk500 plus a 08 S550!

    • @HeyboysGarage
      @HeyboysGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      Yea the E55 will be more reliable hands down. It also doesn’t have any known issues other than maintenance. Other thing is, it’s faster than a NA 63. In terms of how new or old maybe look at the mileage between the two

    • @HeyboysGarage
      @HeyboysGarage  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, I’m sure yours has been changed at some point. Ask the owner if not, I’m not sure if Mercedes is still offering the free change. Air bags depends on if they have been changed yet. If they have been changed then that’s good. Bilstein air bags are the best, or you can convert to coil over
