Guest fisherspug Posted August 24, 2006 hi guys, just wondering if i can pick your brains, ive got the 1.6 gti, but theres only one fan but two housings, is is possible to wire in two fans? and how would i go about it? cheers fisher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted August 24, 2006 One fan is standard so don't panic... you can fit another fan, just get one out of another 205 and slot it in there. On the 1.9 GTi the second fan hole is used for the oil cooler BTW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duroc 2 1 Cars Posted August 24, 2006 The single fan should be more than adequate for a 1.6. If the engine is overheating there must be a fault somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fisherspug Posted August 25, 2006 she doesnt over heat, jst thought id benifit from 2. would it actually make a diggernce? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted August 25, 2006 No, if temperatures are already correct then fitting another will make no diffreence at all. Only things I'm aware of that use both slots as standard are Diesels and cars with air-con fitted. Rob No, if temperatures are already correct then fitting another will make no diffreence at all.

Guest Fangoria Posted August 25, 2006 i've fitted a second fan on my road rally car, got it wired to a switch to use if the car gets really hot which it sometimes does on events, on the road you shouldn't need one though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d-9 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Only things I'm aware of that use both slots as standard are Diesels and cars with air-con fitted. Yeah my auto with aircon came with twin fans, wired up in a very strange way. As far as I can tell, only one fan is controlled by the thermal switch in the rad, wheras the aircon system can switch both fans on. I'll work out a wiring diagram for it at some point.

petert 587 Posted August 26, 2006 all the Aussie delivered 205's have A/C and thus also have twin fans. The switching is quite clever. The relays connect them in series first stage, then parallel second stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I just need to work out why only one of them comes on with temp sensor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
