Fusing the fan

[Fred Munro]

Lee;

The fusible link is so cheap the local dealer didn't even charge me for it
when the link in my '91 200q corroded away.

Note. This 80A fusible link is a consumable item. If you *don't* blow it,
*change* it every five years or better. It's a $20? part (that's a guess).
But the link is less expensive than a radiator and a head.

Ask me how I know.
