Hey guys,

I have a 2005 X5 3.0 Diesel. I got a replacement aux fan and was told that it fits but just needs to trim the new unit slightly.

Before I have gotten to that part I am stuck on removing the old aux fan. I have removed the front bumper etc and can move the fan down, but it gets stuck on what looks like the intercooler for the turbo. It sticks out 2/3 inch further than the radiator behind, therefore makes it quite hard to get the fan out. I pull the fan shroud out to the front but still not enough room for it to clear.

Just wondering if any one has come across this as well and what thje best solution is to removing it.

Cheers
