TD intercooler fan.
« on: 09 June 2010, 11:36:40 »

does anyone know what controls the intercooler fan on a TD?, only my old tractor doesnt have one as standard but as ive just picked up an intercooler with fan for the outragious price of 99p i thought it would be worth updating the old girl. :y

The relays responsible for SLOW speed fans.  Though may be worth making it come on when engine is running ::) - if your gearbox will hold it ;D

thanks jamie but not sure what you mean :-/ apart from the sarky g/box comment, but i guess i deserve that, but joking aside is it best to have it running permanently?, only i dont know when they are normally supposed to run.

so you switch yours on manually?, just wondered if there is a way for it to operate automatically.

Few places you can pick up a signal thats 12v only when engine running, then via a relay to switch fan....
