VISCOSE FAN

<< < (2/2)

stefan:
When I bought my 2.5 petrol 90 a few years ago, it had already had the fixed fan removed and a Kenlowe fitted. On normal road use it was fine, however, when green laning and off road the  Kenlowe wasn't up to the job, so I refitted a fixed fan and it was fine there after.

I have now changed the engine to a 200Tdi from a Discovery and this time removed the viscous fan and replaced it with a pair of fans from a 2 litre Mondeo. On the road the temp sits at 82c constant, when off road it creeps up to around 90c, then the thermostat (from the old Kenlowe fan) cuts the Mondeo fans in and drops it down to 82c again.

I picked up the Mondeo fans on ebay for a fiver.

I have a Kenlowe kit fitted to my 1992 200Tdi Disco. Works great, and warms the engine up quicker too.

As has been said before, any twin fan kit would fit with the right mod. I think the peugeot twin fans are quite popular. All you need then is a Thermostatic switch. Should be easy to get. Having a switched overide would be a good idea too.

thanks for the tips,
i think i might just stick with the fixed fan ...
i least i know it will keep the engine cool!!!

cheers

On the scrap yard front I fitted an old Mondeo twin fan via a Kenlowe switch, the fan was a perfect fit :D
Never had any problems with heat and I only run one of the fans at the mo (even through the summer traffic), couldn't find the time to visit ford for the relay to run the twin............ :oops:


The space it gives under the bonnet...........
