Anyone run without fans? - Bananalad - 25-04-2012
Have the fans out of my dturbo atm and was wondering if it was worth putting them back in?

Not had any in mine for about a year
Re: Anyone run without fans? - Bananalad - 25-04-2012
Yeah i never seen a need for mine, never sit in traffic or leave the car on idle for any length of time..
Re: Anyone run without fans? - Strikeforce - 25-04-2012
My fans on my hdi dont work but it rarely overheats except in standstill traffic in hot weather so i just let the heat escape through the vents.
I do plan on getting a slimline fan to replace them with come summertime though
Re: Anyone run without fans? - 4WayDiablo - 25-04-2012
my fans have not worked for a year and half now, only touched 90 on a handful of occasions and that took a while in traffic
Re: Anyone run without fans? - mark_airey - 25-04-2012
Same here, no fans, not had for ages and it never gets hot unless its sat in traffic in hot weather for a long while or if your ragging the arse off it!
I do have a slimline fan............................ its just in my workshop in the pile of stuff to fit and has been for a while

That's good news for me then, this month's going to be tight on the wages so if I can save £40 for now that's ideal!
Re: Anyone run without fans? - strictly_perv - 25-04-2012
I need one on the 205 as it will creep up in traffic very slowly as the rads alot smaller but I have a slim line fan due to the IC, wired to an in-dash switch, I get to paranoid about overheating.
The one time the original fans came on actually cut up the original rad due to 20 years of shite built up
Re: Anyone run without fans? - londondan86 - 25-04-2012
I took mine out when I changed the rad and like Mark I have a slim line waiting to fit but havnt got round to it.
The temp only creeps up in standstill traffic so I just bung the heaters on full to draw the heat off the matrix instead.
Also as a bonus without the fans in airflow to the rad is spot on.
