Radiator fan-switch blank

[Matteh]

So I've just taken delivered of a shiney new 172 radiator.

unfortunately, for some reason, it has a hole on it to plug in a fan switch like you get on mk1s. my mk1 switch fits so it's m22x1.25.


I don't need/want this switch as the 172 fan is controlled by the ecu, so where can i get a blanking plug from? I know i could just screw in the fan switch, but that would be messy

I'm sure i've seen a few people mention that they have bought radiators with these holes

Renault sell them, but there s**t plastic ones!!!

Whenever i fit them, i take it to the local engineering place and they give me a brass bung!!

 

[Matteh]

don't suppose you have any going spare?

what's wrong with the plastic ones, leak? break?

I got one from the local radiator specialist near me

 

[Matteh]

house or car?

 

[Jay Payne]

Car radiator specialist, should be one near you

 

[Matteh]

Can't say i've ever heard of one... *goes to search*

i've had pug radiators with the same, I remove the plastic bungs and put old sensors in ever since a bung broke up and left me overheating
