REDUCED COOLING OF A/C SYSTEM NEW DUAL COOLING FAN KIT

1988 AND 1989 REGALS WITH 2.8L ENGINE (VIN CODE W) AND AIR CONDITIONING

Some 1988 and 1989 Regals with 2.8L engines (VIN Code W) with a single cooling fan, may exhibit the subject condition of the A/C system. The reduced cooling is due in part to less air flow across the A/C condenser during engine idle and "Stop and Go" city driving in very warm weather.

This condition may now be addressed by installing a new dual cooling fan service kit for A/C system performance improvement.

This new kit is Part Number 10145125 and consists of the following parts and quantities shown.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
