IC extra fans on extra HE which electric thermostat to choose?
I have the SL but this issue is also concerning the E class so will appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks
Looking into this cooling issue with the IC going for upgrade with extra HE and Johnson pump and some extra fans as NikleinR6 did . but he made a switch for turning the fans on and off which I do not want. I found a 6 double fan set with an electric thermostat but which temperature would be the best for activating the fans? I dont want them to be running constantly only when in traffic after a long pull etc.
180F/165F
160F/145F
140F/125F
Anybody having any knowledge about this?
NikleinR6 comments on the extra fan setup:
-Attached (2) 6" fans to the backside of the new large heat exchanger up front that are controlled by a switch hidden in the ashtray. I do notice a difference. It would take longer for the IAT's to drop once i got off the highway after a long pull, so i installed the fans. They help tremendously while i am sitting at redlights and moving slowly. They don't reduce the temps more than if i didn't have them, but they absolutely do reduce the recovery time it takes for the temps to drop back down after they rise
