Where is the best place to get a slim fan? Iv looked on ebay and they look a bit cheap, I want something I can trust.

Sure I got mine from Txautosport and it seems reliable enough. Suppose for ultimate peace of mind I suppose a SPAL/Kenlowe or similar fan from Demon Tweeks or other motorsport place would be best but expensive!

106 GTI/ Saxo VTS/R.
front, flange mounted cheap slim fan. option of double or single. All mounts support double fans, its just the GTI has 2 fitted so you have the option.

look at what a/c fans you can pick up at the local brakers. i used a mk4 astra a/c one on the front of my rad on the V6 corsa
least you get some quality with them too

Thanks for the replys. I think the AC fan might be my 1st try.

Agreed ones on the bay we musn't metion do seem "cheap", but I can only report good things.

...Cheaper to buy, weigh less, free up room in the engine bay, cool the rad faster, drain less juice and haven't missed a beat.

You can't always assume O.E design is best.
