Driving On One Radiator Fan

Recommended Posts

I had the pleasure of bumping into a cement pillar surrounding a parking light this morning, nose first.

The damage is a bent square shaped bar, which is behind the outside bumper, below and in front of the radiator. I assume this was in place for reinforcement for moments just like this one. Too bad it isn't solid, as the bend in this bar was pushed into the radiator's right hand side, if you're facing the car from the front. Hence, the right radiator fan can only be moved by hand. The radiator fan on the left is intact. No punctures occurred as I saw no fluid on the ground and the car drives fine.

Eventually, I'll need to get the bar either straightened or torched off, and the radiator replaced. Nevertheless, I'm concerned that I now only have one radiator fan functioning as opposed to two.

Can I drive the RX300 like this without causing damage?

And does anybody have an idea what it will cost to fix this.

Ya gotta love winter!
