gwtaylor Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Right it’s got an aftermarket rad but the fan isn’t wired up can anybody tell my if this is a suck or blow fan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeonL Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) You can swap wires around and it’ll spin opposite way. but based on fact it’s on rear of radiator it should be pulling/sucking heat out of the radiator Edited March 15, 2019 by LeonL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gwtaylor Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Doing abit of wire searching and luckily I have a complete ish car for reference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeonL Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) You’d be able to tell if it’s blowing or pulling by feeling the air around it while turned on Edited March 15, 2019 by LeonL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeonL Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Because it’s mounted on the back of the radiator it should be pulling air/heat out of the radiator and into the engine bay if the fan was mounted on the front of radiator you’d want it pushed the heat through and into engine bay Edited March 15, 2019 by LeonL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeonL Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Normally you tighten them up quite abit until the bushing become squashed down. I don’t have any torque settings I’m afraid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gwtaylor Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 While I had it up in the air I decided to take exhaust off as I’ve got a full blitz system to go on even though this one did sound ok like. but it will be going up forsale this evening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwtaylor Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 No real pictures yet but have a blitz exhaust to be fitted another half rad a new actuator and just fitted 16” team dynamic alloys. noticed a clunk from the rear end and after investigation it was the bushes in the rear diagonal bar. Luckily I had a spare from the one I’m breaking to go straight on job done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
