Madness MINI Cooper Power Steering Fan Shield

After years of replaceing failed power steering fans on MINI Cooper's due to dirts and rock debris damage we decided to make a protective fan shield.  Originally MINI put no fan cover on these power steering fans in the early years and then added a grill type cover in later years.  Unfortunatly their solution only worked to keep large boulders out of the power steering fan.  We decided to create a fan shield that actually deflects dirt and debris down and away from the fan.  As you can see from the directional vent design as debris and dirts hit the fan sheild it will be deflected downward keeping it away from the MINI Cooper's pricy power steering cooling fan.   If your fan fails it will cause the MINI Cooper's power steering pump to over heat and shut down.  If this happens to many times the power steering pump will eventually fail permanently.  The MINI Cooper power steering cooling fan typically costs about $170 to replace. The power steering pump is roughly $700 to replace.   That being said spending $49 on the fan shield can go along way in making your MINI Cooper more reliable, safe and affordable in the long run.
