Finally have the car ready for summer driving this is my first experience with twin fans on the radiator and ac condenser, they seem to work very well however, the car is from 2003 and these fans are very cheap should I look for or plan on replacing them out of sheer age? They seem almost toy like in size but I love the car just the same!

By comparison my Ford ranger has a clutch on the fan that is engine-driven and it's one of the first things I've always had taken care of on these old trucks

 

If the fans are original they may last forever , Do you know why after market ones are cheap ?? May be a coolant flush should be on your mind , don't buy a $6** dollar thermostat if you choose to replace that . Spend the $45** at the dealer and put your mind at ease

 

I've had OEM fans on older Civics last 30+ years. I think you'll be fine.

 

To be fair OEM fans are also rather cheap

The shop I've been using for well over 20 years is pretty good, they did replace the thermostat, I felt in the beginning the car wasn't warming up, the problem was weird, the fuse box was good but the circuit burned out underneath the relay,

90 +weather is already upon us! The fan seems to be keeping up, it is quiet, but I can hear it cycle on and off even sitting in traffic,

So there's even more reason to love Honda, the engineering!

 

The fans can come on under certain heat/AC settings regardless off engine temp. I've worked on different cars for 40+ years and I like these civics for this forum .
