What It Helps Address

- Overheating caused by inconsistent fan drive
- Excessive fan noise from a worn thermal clutch
- Poor temperature control in stop-and-go driving
- Cooling performance loss on a Kia Sportage with a failing clutch
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify clockwise standard rotation and thermal fan clutch requirements before installation. Confirm the vehicle build date for 2001 Kia Sportage applications, since coverage applies only through 06/21/2001. Inspect the fan, pulley area, and surrounding cooling components during replacement to ensure the new clutch operates correctly. Use the part number 946-2010 to confirm the correct replacement before ordering.
