Anyone in SLC, UT ?
Bit of a long shot. Anyone local to Salt Lake that could help a student with no tools and limited budget replace the fan clutch on her '01 D2?
long story short. She overheated in traffic, boiled the coolant, blew off cap. I walked her through bleeding the coolant and making sure she had no visible leaks or that the system was pressurizing due to exhaust gases. Also had her test the fan clutch and it spins freely. Amongst other issues, this points to at least one reason why she overheated in traffic.
The car already has a new radiator and water pump, of someone was willing to help change the fan clutch out, she'd at least be able to get the car over to GBR without having to pay for another tow.
cheers!

Does this person still need help?
I've got an extra fan/clutch and tools. And I'm in SLC. Let me know.
