Technical Uprated Radiator Fan - KIT Gr.A Spec

[NSMG]

Cheers,

The 500 Sporting Gr.A KIT uses the A/C-spec radiator fan from air-conditioned Centos (900cc Suite, 500 and 600 Sporting - all the same), with 150W power, same diameter, instead of the normal 100W of the standard non-A/C version.
Just ordered 1 unit for my car and I hope it will help when stuck in Traffic.

Does anyone here ever tried this simple bolt.on mod ?
If it's good enough for Fiat Auto Corse.....

Best Regards

Are you having an overheating problem?

What spec is your car?

Do you have a link to get the Kit please?

I don't think so.
But I really don't feel confortable with the car running so hot.
The radiator is OK, thermostat is new...
Always well above 90, in the region of 100-110.
It was always been like this, since it was brand new - 0 km....

My stock fan does a perfectly good job of keeping the temperature under control. A "better" fan is a complete waste of time.

You would be better off installing a manual override fan switch if you want to keep it a little cooler.

Do you have the vented inner arch?

advise also wrapping the exhaust manifold with exhaust wrap makes a big difference under the bonnet cheap mod get a roll of it on ebay for 10 pounds/12 euros on average
