TheRecklessEngineer Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Alright chaps... Just a quicky - will a 300 TDi viscous fan fit an LR V8? It is actually quite disturbing how well my disco copes with 40+ temperatures and traffic without a fan - unlike a v8 with a dodgy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Alright chaps...Just a quicky - will a 300 TDi viscous fan fit an LR V8? It is actually quite disturbing how well my disco copes with 40+ temperatures and traffic without a fan - unlike a v8 with a dodgy one they will physically fit, as i swapped mine over when i ran both types of engine (when i had some money.... no morgage then!) but apparently they're set up differently with temparatures and stuff (like when they start/stop spinning) but mine worked fine. i suspect if you were working on the limits of the engine (dragging a house across the mojabe desert or summat equally as daft) then it might be a problem. if you compare the two fans (Well, mine were anyway) the Tdi one had less number of fins, but they were longer (and the viscous bit was smaller diameter IIRC) mine was fine for laning and buzzing around though (Tdi engine w/ V8 fan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Twin electrics off an Audi 26 (?) fit nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 depends on what V8, later serpentine engines it will definitely not as they have a much bigger (36mm spanner size) nut on the coupling True, I know this since I've got a brand new V8 Fan which did not fit my 300TDI. It is therefore your lucky day as I am offering the fan for sale. Pm me if youre interested. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front cover of my engine is circa 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
