Which radiator fan
JeffJeffers - 24/2/11 at 12:54 PM

It has come to the time I need to get a radiator fan for my Polo radiator. I have found Electric Radiator Cooling Fan 10' Push/Pull Universal on eBay (end time 03-Mar-11 20:18:24 GMT) on ebay
It seems a little cheap. Is there a big difference between this and a Revotec one that you can get from somewhere like Europa spares?

They work just fine I have an 8" one as backup fan on the tintop.

I use one of those fans, works just fine.

I've got one too. Much cheapness and pretty good too.

Wow that is cheap compared to the majority out there. Looks pretty much the same as the generic ones out there so not particularly sophisticated in the blade department so may a bit noisy but you can't complain at that price. I was going to say get one from a scrappy as you may get a nice fitting cowling too but again hard to argure at that price.

I always sand the leading edges of the fan blades to remove any flashing on new fans. This can make quite a difference to noise.

Thanks all for the advise.
As its pay day today I think I will treat myself!
