While replacing the alternator regulator and brushes in my A3 I noticed the fan spinning freely with no pressure in the system (truck not running and tanks empty). Bought a fan clutch rebuild kit because given those symptons, I thought the actuator is good and fan clutch bad. However, when I loosened/removed the nut on the actuator, the clutch locked up tight. So does this tell me the actuator is bad? I would think if the actuator was bad and leaking air the fan would be locked up all the time. So before I pull everything apart and rebuilt the fan clutch, is that even the problem?
I couldn't find anything in the TM regarding this condition.
