spal fan fitted

[StormchargedVR6 0]

Just spent most of the day fitting my Spal slim line fan, Not wanting to take the front of car off, i just removed the schrick which is easy.

Just got to wire it up now,

 

Could anyone tell me where this yellow/black wire goes, not sure if i've pulled it off from somewhere.

Will it fit on anything nearby? That's a good start. Looks like it could be a starter motor wire.

I've checked everything, will look again tomorrow.

There seem to be a lot of random spare wires on corrados to be fair.

 

Where abouts did you get your spal from? I might wack one in my 16v as the fan is playing up.

Did you get any mouting brackets with it? If not how did you fit it? I need some brackets for mine but 1) dont know where to get them 2) dont know what shape to make them if not available.

Just had a look in the engine bay on mine, it's not connected either so wouldn't worry. Not to sure what its for though lol.

Pretty sure I have a spare wire down that part of the bay, but I'll have a look later.

How have you wired the fan in to the three speeds? I've got a Spal just need to install it, but also need to make some mounting brackets too.

Don't worry about that wire, it's been discussed a few times, it's unplugged on everyone's I think. Got a feeling it's something to do with the aircon.

Just need speed 1 , use your live from fan to the red/white wire and the brown for earth, job done. Im also running low temp fan switch.

It all works great :)

Couple of questions about the Spal fan if you don't mind me asking. How much slimmer is it than the standard fan? I had to move my rad back to fit the condenser in for the climatronic as it's huge, I only have about 10mm clearance now to the standard inlet manifold and plan to fit a Schrick so need to save some space. Is the cooling OK with just one fan?

No problems at all, theres loads of room now, and a great weight saving.

The cooling is fine. Would say its defo worth while.

 

Ask kev (cheesewire) or anyone running one if these will tell you.
