Is it really worth fitting the above to a 200tdi?  Put one on the 2A and can't say I noticed a lot of diffference

Bill jones:
Fitted one to my 200 Tdi 5 years ago. When first fitted I did notice a small differeance in fuel use (between 1 to 2 miles a gallon better average) but I would say if you want to fit one for the fuel saving it's a long term item before you get your money back unless you do loads of miles a year.

extreme90:
only reason i got a kenlow fitted to my 90 is cos its got a fondness of swimming  :lol:

defenderdan:
I fitted an electric fan out of a scrap omega. I only did it because the viscous fan had given up the ghost. I wouldn't do it for economy but it has other advantages such as the engine warms up quicker (good in winter) and you can turn it off when wading.

dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
hmmm....it'll be done on the cheap (if at all) - a Chrysler Voyager kindly suppled the fan for the Series - and I'm doing about 1500 miles a month at the moment......

So..currently 30 mpg.....2/30 improvement......£50 per week x 2/30 = £3pw saving......

Think I'll acquire a switch/thermostat....
