Engine cooling fan

[scotty2hotty81]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good quality slim engine cooling fan, struggling for space on my turbo conversion, I'm either going to fit a slimmer fan or ditch the lot for a polo unit if its any slimmer?

I use kenlowe but mounted on the front so it blows rather than sucks, about 70quid

The item Steve has linked you too works perfectly well and works pull or push.

No need to pay crazy ammounts, never had issues with one before. Fitted one to jon-r car not long back and hes car keeps well cool

@Cupman29 how did you wire the fan in?

I got a Polo radiator and measured up to find a 14" fan fits. I paid a little extra and went for the 120 watt version over the 80 watt as it only ended up being £23:

Cut the connector off the OE fan and bought a new connector and used that.

Front mount the fans, you get loads more room.

Need a few more questions answering before I swop the fan. There are two connectors on it. One goes to the motor on the fan, what's the other one? I'm d assumed I just wire the new fan to the plug that goes to the oe fans motor? Pic below, it's the plug on the right.

@NorthloopCup yeah that one, top corner? Wasn't sure if it'll be needed? The plug on the centre of the fan should be the two wires I need for the fan, correct?

Yes mate 2 wires for the fan and forget the rest mate. I've never seen anything connected to the other plug on a Clio tbh.
