so you reckon leave the rad as it is and get two 7" fans? I like the sound of that nice and easy :D | |

sport aircon radiator will involve you changing the top radiator hose as the radiators longer, diesal raditor hoses go in at totally different points so would be a pain in the arse, sandard radiator with 2 7" fans will do the job, saying that ive always used the standard corsa fan and never had any issues | |

biggest rad is a rad that comes on a sport with aircon ;) | |

Yeah I'll probs try just adding an extra fan first, if that doesn't work would a combo rad to the job do you think? If not, what rad would you suggest? | |

sorry forgot to mention fan cuts in ok, just doesn't seem up to the job of keeping engine cool, that's why I'm thinking a bigger rad might be the answer. | |

wire up your fan so you can switch it on when your temp gets high | |

my 2.0 16v corsa's temp gauge creeps up towards 100 when in traffic, head gasket has been checked and is apparently fine, it's got (I think) a 1.2 corsa radiator and a slim line fan, and I can keep the temp down by turning on the heater. I've read somewhere a vauxhall combo radiator is a bit bigger, is fitting one of them a good idea or should I just put a more powerful fan on? Or maybe fit an additional fan? Any suggestions appreciated :D |
