200 Tdi - No cooling fan?

(1/3) > >>

Dr Strangeglove:
Currently looking at a 200Tdi engine but it is in a Rangie with no cooling fan. It can’t have an electric fan in front as it still has the aircon rads in it! Do the 200Tdi's run cool so they don't all have fans?

Arightpest:
HI

It will run cool in winter but you must have a fan fitted for summer if not the first time you are in traffic or you are playing off road and use the engine but do not travel forward the rad will not receive enough air flow to cool the engine and you will have major problems. Plus the fan sits behind the rad in a 200 tdi and pulls the air through the rad. Also ask if an electric fan was fitted when the engine was in use because if it wasn’t damage could have been caused to the head gasket.

And without the engine fan the intercooler won't be doing much either.

I ran a 200 disco for 3 years with no fan at all, as for the intercooler the force of moving air when your moving will cool the intercooler with no problems, i all so offroadded my 200 with no problems at all,

I would agree that it is better to have a fan, but you can save a few horses by removing it :D

extreme90:
fit a electric fan on the inside of the engine bay that sucks air in, they r the best IMO and is what ive got on my 200 90
however, it gets used once in a blue moon  :roll:
if not, ive got 3 viscouse units nocking around here all from 200 disco's which is what engine will be in the rangie  :wink:
