Frequently asked questions

What is the ERC5708G viscous coupling?
The ERC5708G is a Borgwarner-type viscous fan coupling for the cooling system. It drives the engine fan through a silicone fluid clutch that lets the fan work hard when the engine is hot and freewheel when cold, saving power and noise.
Which vehicles and engines does it suit?
It suits the Defender (1987-2006) with the 2.25/2.5 4-cylinder petrol, 2.5 naturally aspirated diesel with A/C, or 3.5 V8 twin-carb 7-blade fan, and the Discovery 1 3.5 V8. Cross-references ERR5708.
How do I know the coupling has failed?
If the engine runs hot in traffic the coupling may be slipping, and a loud roaring fan with poor economy means it has seized locked. A coupling that spins freely on a cold engine has usually lost its fluid and needs replacing.
Is it a DIY fit?
It sits between the water pump and fan and unscrews or unbolts, so a competent home mechanic can fit it with a large spanner or fan tool. Watch for a left-hand thread on some fittings when releasing it.
