Title: Radiator fan
Post by: juan on December 22, 2008, 12:15:05 pm

The radiator fan in the g40 ive just bought is buggered and i was just wondering if its ok to replace it with a fan from a mk3 1.3 cl?

just the fan or the motor?  The normal 1.3 one wont be twin speed.  the actual plastic fan that sits on the motor is the same though.

Lol i just tried plugging the cl fan motor into the g40 loom and it doesn't go in due to the plastic notches bieng different.

i'm sure the G40 fan has more blades than a CL or GT. doesn't the GT/CL fan have 3 blades and the G40 4 blades?
