Need help or advice!
So i just bought a 2003 c32 w/ 30k mi. Love the car, drove great w/ no issues. I recently changed intake to sl-55 and have been driving around w/ a great smile and no issues. Read about all the valero mishaps so i thought id do some good and take it to a indie shop and get it changed out. Now the car was running like a champ before i took it in. But now the indie shop changed to a behr radiator; it runs rough and is overheating. The indie shop said the fan/module is bad, but it was fine before i took it in? Any thoughts to why the fan is shot now after the radiator change? Please help!

If they managed to damage the fan swapping the radiator you might want to check the main electrical connection first... Maybe they didn't plug it in? 
Start car turn on heater and see if the fan is running. Clean both connections with electrical contact cleaner if not. CRC is what I use. At Autozone... Check wiring for damage.

bleed the system of air and check the fan. My car has 120k on it and the fan module is still good. I think they just messed up on the install. there's slight trick to removing the fan from the oem radiator, if you dont know it you can have difficult or mess up the fan.
Thats why on installs like this i like to install it on my own. Some times it seems like shops dont care about the car enough to make sure its installed correctly.
