I've seen these retro fitted to several classics and was wondering what the consensus is, good or bad idea?

1973 NSU Ro 80

1973 Audi 100 GL
1979 Audi 100 Avant

I have one fitted that I switch on and off and I wouldn't be without out. Even though I've not had the engine temp go too high, I tend to switch it on in traffic

Yes, fixed or viscous fan...get 'em gone! Had a Kenlowe since late 70's on mine and never regretted fitting it. True cars been off road since 2000, but during 20 years it was; I only used it a few times in traffic, other than that it never came on...it was working! . I paid £40odd back then; no idea price now, but worth doing, esp if you're going to keep the car. Cheers. G

Hi guys,
My opinion is that our engines need a six blade cooling fan and oil cooler, I can't get them so I have an electric fan in addition to the standard fan and it definately comes in handy in slow traffic and on those hot-hot days.
