Can someone please post up a step by step or decent guidelines to removing the radiator fans as a complete unit rather than one by one.
Thanks.
It's an S1 1.8 16v with AC.

Use service Citroën to identify fastener locations, but generally:
Remove inner wheelarch splashguards
Remove blinkers
Remove upper grille/moustache
Remove bumper after unplugging froglight harness
Unplug headlights
Unclip top of radiator from panel and tilt back, ensuring condenser moves with it
Disconnect bonnet release primary cable
Unbolt panel and tilt forward
Identify and release cooling fan connection points

That seems a bit wrong... The condenser is fastened to the fan support, and I think the A/C may need to be depressurised and the pipes undone to get at the screws. Attemping to tilt the condenser while still bolted on is asking for trouble.addo wrote:Use service Citroën to identify fastener locations, but generally:

Not a problem on a car without A/C.
