i was sceptical of them too as most ppl do i also figured all show
but after seeing how much smoother and quieter kims beetle was with one im bit more convinced
only thing that concerns me is stock v-belt is design to let the fan slip at high revs
probbaly not an issue on a stock motor but stock unwelded fans do explode at higher revs

see how the throttle cable passes thro the shroud about 10mm from the fan
well when the fan does this at high revs it can grab the cable and jam them WOT

It is more common in higher revving engines, exceeding the 4000 rpm max they were designed for. The factory fan is simply not designed for the higher RPMs and can break under the load. The bent fan can then hit the throttle cable tube running through the fan shroud, bending the tube and jamming the cable inside. It is just luck as to whether the throttle is open or closed at the time.Newt wrote:Quote - Been known to pin the throttle cable at WOT too, if you are truly unlucky.

Some VW parts companies offer trued, welded and balanced fans to overcome this.

Looks great, will the tensioner fit with the original fuel pump in place, is it spring loaded?

those shitty aftermarket fans from taiwan made of shaped alfoil may do that at 4k but stock should be ok upto 6kBoozo wrote:wow thats an awesome picture, never thought they could just fly apart like that.....4000rpm you say?? hmm might have to look into mine.

if ur reving past that tho might be worth thinking about a welded fan
