  View original topic: bent washer/spacer between fan and backing plate

When I took my fan off from the altermator, I found one of the thick washers, I believe between the fan and the backing plate, had slightly bent edges. Is it supposed to be like this? It looks symmetric.



thanks in advance.

never mind...I think that washer is the one under my 36mm nut, to lock it in place..

Yep, it's a lock washer.

Are you sure you're working on a VW, there's no dirt under that thumbnail! :wink:

I'm a surgeon by trade...kinda have to keep my hands clean, so I wear latex exam gloves when I work on my car.

Maybe it's the angle or something, but the fins on that oil cooler look bent up and won't let air flow freely.
