Grazer Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Bugger. Feeling very pleased with myself for buying a new fan shroud and painting it: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gcsimpson/2004_10_04_wrongshroud04.JPG Only to take out the old one and find that it had a hole like this: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gcsimpson/2004_10_04_wrongshroud05.JPG For this other fan that I knew nothing about http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gcsimpson/2004_10_04_wrongshroud01.JPG Should I just cut a similar hole in the new shroud? I can't really take it back to Toyota now that it's silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Looks a bit like your painted one isn't tall enough either...? Have you compared them together, before you start cutting? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 What is that fan???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazer Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 They are the same height, just at different angles in the pics. What is that fan???? And what would happen if I didn't have it! I presume it's just for extra cooling for the radiator and I would be ok without it short term, keeping an eye on temp??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 It's an extra electric fan, I used to think it was something to do with the aircon but I'm not so sure as the aircon system is wholly seperate from the cooling system. I'm guessing it's for cooling the radiator area where the big fan just doesn't reach. The facelift has two fans there, in a much nicer bracket I'd cut the shroud for it, I wouldn't remove the fan -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 the shroud you have brought is for the n/a. as they only have the main big fan. all tt's should have two fans (one big and one small) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazer Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 I had to get things back together this afternoon, so I've stuck it in without the other fan for the moment: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gcsimpson/2004_10_shroudin01_small.JPG I guess I'll take it back out at the weekend and cut a hole for the other fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
