    Was the fan clutch ever replaced?

    I had an overheating prob when I bought my VX this year... So, by using this site, I found a recommendation to replace the clutch. $70 and 30 mins of my time, and the temp has not once gone above normal.


    Sometimes I wonder about the headlight seals we have... I'm sure they help in keeping out dirt and water, but I feel they may be overkill for typical street use. Just like our Rally Inspired suspension.
    I took mine off in preparation for clearcoating the headlights, and now I'm leaning toward NOT installing the new ones... I believe the engine compartment needs a little air movement to help in dissipating heat.

    True, thats why my hood scoop is functional, I actually cut a hole through the insert and the hood. You wouldn't believe the heat you can see coming out of the vent.
    The torque cool fan clutch helps as well.
