Engine getting hot

[Hodge]

I seem to recall that someone has done it by using Yotas spare parts viscous coupling fluid, apparently 2 bottles I just can't remember the thread but because the fan hub and coolant pump are not separable you'll have remove it.

Its a messy job too.

He has been doing it past few months testing the best amount of fluid to use for best results.

Yep.
Started at 1 1/2 bottles. Did FA. Then went to 2 1/2, the fan was fully locked the entire time. But my temps were 15c lower. I couldn't handle the power loss, and noise, I went 2 bottles. Better than 1 1/2 but still could be better i thought. So out it all came again and now I have 2 1/4 bottles in the hub.
I have found this to be pretty much the sweet spot for my setup. The temps still move a lot, but it drops so much quicker now. After doing 1700ks with a camper in tow for most of it, my temps never got over 100c, where as last time I did the same trip, I was seeing 115c on the odd occasion.
I do however have a copper rad from UFI and the G35 infinity fan on it too. I am now thinking of putting the OEM rad back in just to see if theres any difference.
