Hi Philip,
yes I will take care of your remark about the rubber flaps.
But finally the holes from the rivets are alredy at the right place.
I'll have a look to the thermostat as you discribe.
Thanks
Michel

I have certainly bought them with AutoSparks looms in the past. Perhaps try SNGB or XKS Unlimited; you need an Otter Switch Connector.

I use the original fans. There is IMO no need for high power VW fans or the high speed they offer .... IF .... the cooling system as a whole is good and correct. Consider that my car has aircon and is being used here in South Africa where temperatures in summer go to mid and high 30's degC. If you WANT to use the dual speed, you do get fan switches that have three terminals and two temperature ranges for activation. Just select one of those and add another relay (that can handle the current!!!)
The most important aspect of the cooling system is that the thermostats MUST close the bypass circuit fully. I think it was Marek that discovered that modern thermostats do not move as far as required by the thermostat housing on the Jag. The housing require a movement of about 42mm and most thermostats only move about 40mm. I attached 4mm alu washers to the bypass plate of the thermostat, but raising the floor of the housing is also a method used.

I see that you still have to fit rubber flaps to you radiator. Please ensure that the horizontal flaps are mounted at the top (I've recently seen one - at a local reputable restorer - where one flap was mounted at the bottom, which could cause the flap to curl over when hot and then the fans would just draw air from behind the radiators, not through it.) Also the flap must be able to seal easily all around the edge.

The flaps on my car is 1.5mm thick. 3mm would be too thick.

I have the VW Jetta 2 speed fans fitted to my S3 OTS as well. Fit exactly into the fan blade shroud and perfect fit for the fan mounts. They have been fitted for 10 years and no problems.MLBS3V12 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 6:44 amThank you to post an answer.
I started from so far on my restoration that I’ll not have a 100% original car anyway. I’ve an XJS engine (I'm still questionning myselfabout the ECU to be used. We already have exchanged about that)and a Getrag gearbox. So I’m already very far from an original S3.
Could you please share pics from your modification ?
Do you use more modern fans with 2 speeds ? I do use 2 WV Jetta ones as proposed by coocatcorp:
If it is so how do you managed the high speed ?
Cheers
Michel
