steve200TDi Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yes! You need to remove the top coolant hose and top intake hose linking the top of the radiator/intercooler with the top of the engine, remove the viscous fan and it should slide in. You could also remove the air filter housing to make a little bit more room to thread it in. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yup, it's a pain but it's worth it for the best cooling Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Haha! I just bent my cowl in - I couldn't be bothered to remove the rad hose. It will just about bend and squeeze in without breaking (with only the viscous fan removed), but better to remove the hose if you can!
