i have had my car fullly refurbed and it may aswell be a brand new car Smile all is well, im just wondering about my rad fan. The mounting for the fans can house 2 however one space is missing a fan and only holds a sensor. Is this normal? I asume so as i dont see a spare connector for another fan. Am i correct? if i wanted to add another fan could i do so and wire it up in parrallel? this also made me wonder, would a smaller rad with a larger fan work/do they make them? thanks for any info in advance

IIRC Rallyes and P1s only had one fan, I know mine does. Seems to work mind, never had it overheat.

ah i see. My car doesnt overheat. Except when sitting in traffic and tbh it only reaches 100 as a pose to the normal 90. i put my heater on full blast to correct this. Should i worry about my engine hitting 100 in traffic?

Not really, I think the second fan doesn't come on until 103 anyway, as long as all is well it should hold under pressure at that temperature.

I don't believe there's anything from stopping you putting on a twin-fan, what phase is yours?

mines a phase 1.
im glad all is normal.

however....... what are the posibilities of mounting a smaller rad with a larger single fan for weight saving?

will the rad and fan assembly from my old 1.4 suffice? has anyone done anything like this before?

ive just started a thread on it. seem an easy enough swap seeing as i have a phase one 1.4 going for spares. rad is tiny and there enough space to get a rather large intercooler verticvally doew one side of it.
