Mr2kyle Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Hi all, so since I bought the car it’s been missing it’s fan shroud. It’s never overheated to the best of my knowledge but since I’ve owned it I’ve never had hot air through the blower. When I bought it I hadn’t done my research and was told that the matrix was just clogged. Replaced the matrix and managed to get hot air once bled but when driven after it would go cold. Had a garage look at it last week and they said exhaust gasses were getting into the coolant so possible head gasket failure. Could this have been caused by the lack of fan shroud? I know it’s not a common thing for a head gasket to go. Should I get a fan shroud or is it worth getting the srd fan kit? I’m taking it up to SSI to have it looked at again and sorted. Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Cheers Kyle Edited March 23, 2021 by Mr2kyle (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 No this shouldnt have caused a head gasket failure IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 A fan shroud is all important for cooling, otherwise the fan is just whipping hot air round the bay. Get a shroud fitted. Would it cause overheating, maybe but probably not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Only place I was able to find an OEM shroud was JDM Garage. Bit cheaper than the carbon option https://www.jdmgarageuk.com/genuine-toyota-fan-shroud-cover-fits-toyota-supra-jza80-2jz-gte-ge-11302-46031.html Edited March 24, 2021 by Style (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
