   I ran 2 on my last vtr 16v and it kept the temps right down in trafic and also once stoped after a long hard drive it cooled the car down so well.
   
   I just splices the second fan in to the wires for the first one..

   How long did you have them like this? Did you not worry about the draw on the electrics having both fans on?
   
   I havn't connected my 2nd fan up yet, but if yours was/is fine then i might connect mine up.

   They ran that way for around 2 years with out any problems. The fans dont draw much current anyway and also the oe fan cables are quite thick.. Would think they would be still running fine now but the car went to the scrappie in the sky..

   looking at doing this on my gti
   heard theres a way of wiring in an extra relay to fun it or something s it reduces the draw on the system
   
   anyone know that method??
