Kaan W Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I bought these but sent them straight back, brackets in the wrong place which meant they would need cutting off and moved. The fans themselves are probably good to flow 1400cfm, not enough imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I've asked the question before and quite afew people are running them with no isssues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 They are fine on mine running BPU, I have since replaced one of the fans (driver side) with a larger one I picked up, but that was just because it was on offer and liked the idea of increasing the airflow on that side. Fitment on an after market alloy radiator was ok, neither the rad or the fan housing was made to a close tolerance, but for that price.. I did include a bit of insulation down the edges between the rad and shroud so that the only air the fans could move was via the rad core as on mine there was a few mm gap. I picked up a nice Kenlowe electronic controller on here, but there is a kit you can get also on ebay that controls these fine, the only reservation I have about these is the seal on the top hose, I could never get it 100% sealed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Variable-Thermostat-Tempature-Control-Kit-Radiator-Cooling-Fans-/390806744131?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5afde5ac43 Even after sitting in the queue and box at pod for what seemed a lifetime on a really hot day, they kept my engine temp nice stable. David P runs similar on his without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I bought a pair of those fans, and made my own shroud to fit them, moulded to suit the stock rad. I ditched the viscous fan, for aesthetic reasons. Mine don't kick in that often, but when they do, they draw that much air that I can feel the warm air from standing by the drivers door!
