Slim line fan

[Chambers_RS]

Just wonder if I could hook a slim line fan upto the original wiring and it work ok?

Thanks in advanced.

Why, they're usually inferior to a stock setup as they don't have any ducting or fan shroud.

Yep, no reason why it wouldn't work on the original wiring. It just needs power to run..

Really?

Don't see how a smaller fan that can flow more air be worse than an oe fan because it has no shroud?!

Fan shroud makes an incredible difference make no mistake.
Unless the Clio one is a totally toss design??

Most people rip the OE stuff out, slap on two slim-line ones and then wonder why they activate so often in traffic - they can't do the job as well as the OE stuff.

Why would you want change it anyway?

Might be for clearance issues to get some extra pipework in the engine bay?
That's why I've fitted them in the past.

@Chambers_RS this is correct what he's saying.
The original fan is a pull type, so the shroud helps the fan to pull all the air through the rad.

Exactly why! And it's not really a car that's gunna be sat in traffic.
