Hi,

Is it unusual for a radiator fan to seize? My Boxster is 2.5 years old, well maintained by the dealership and used daily. Do you think it is a wearable part or was it a manufacturers fault?

Thanks

Reckon its unusual. As the dealer has serviced it for you and made some money out of you. Unless you have done a inter galatic mileage reckon they or Porsche should offer some form of good will and change it.
With a quality marque like Porsche don't understand why they only offer 2 years warranty

Fan is a non-servicable part. Quality of some of the parts on these Boxters is not fantastic, they are alright, but no better made than say a Polo. Bit unlucky to have it sieze but not a lot you can do other than replace it and moan to the dealer for a goodwiil payment or at least trade price.
