C18RCH Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've got quite a few seemingly obvious questions but since my landy is in Sheffield and I am not I can't just go out and look . So I was wondering if any of you gents (or ladies if there arew any on here?) might be able to answer them. Here goes.............. Whats the distance between the back of the radiator and the front of the viscous fan on a 200tdi? I am building an electric fan mount using the old fan cowling and need to know the clearance before I glue/bolt it together. What's the height of the rear wheel arches from the load bay floor? I need to know for an idead I have for fitting some boot seats. Does anyone have a pic of what the engine bay end of the fuel tank to engine bay fuel pipe connectors look like? Thats it for now but I'm sure there will be more until I get it back home. Thanks in advance, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Does anyone have a pic of what the engine bay end of the fuel tank to engine bay fuel pipe connectors look like? the photo's show lift pump & filter connections distance between the back of the radiator and the front of the viscous fan on a 200tdi? approx 240mm What's the height of the rear wheel arches from the load bay floor? approx 225mm hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The most important measurement for an electric fan is the radiator to fan blade. Not more than 10mm. Have a look at the pictures on this thread by crowman. See how clost to the rad he has his fan http://forums.lr4x4....pic=72434&st=60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C18RCH Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah, I've been following that thread. My plan though is to use the viscous fan cowl and incorporate the electric fan into it but singe the electric fan I have (off an M3 BMW) has quite a chunky cowl itself I want to make sure there is enough clearance. I'm aware of the debate surrounding distance from rad to fan but since the existing cowl has been designed fro that radiator set up I figure using it for the elctric fan should be the most efficient set up. I may be wrong but we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 One of the benefits of fitting the electric fan is it frees up space in the front of the engine bay, if you leave the cowling in place you really won't gain much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
