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

some CTI´s and rallyes have got the second fan with one temp-switch in the second hole in the radiator.

 

Cheers

The single fan should be more than adequate for a 1.6. If the engine is overheating there must be a fault somewhere.

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.

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

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.

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.

I think that is the same for the STDT and Dturbo ones over here too.

Cheers for that, thats saved me a lot of hard thought! Now I just need to work out why only one of them comes on with temp sensor.
