The gte/gsi one is fine.
The fan should hardly ever be on anyways, unless your sat in traffic.

Are you having cooling problems? If so, you need to think of upgrading the radiator really. A diesel one is a good option and it has a 2-speed fan. Works wonders on my car.

What rad are you using?

I used a 1.2 rad and never had any cooling problems at all. A slimline spal fan is probly best, the fan i had on mine used to block me pulling the dipstick out lol

Well if it never gets hot enough for the fan to come on then it wont come on lol Only need to worry if your temp guage is getting too high, some cars get to just over 100c before the fan cuts in, some at around 95/8.

If your worried its not working leave it running sometime and keep an eye on the temp guage. Mine only ever came on it i was stuck in very slow traffic for a long time
