Passat rad fans on a mk2
Sorry in advance if I'm overthinking, but looking for some guidance on upgrading to a Passat b3 dual rad fan setup on my MK2 gtd (already has the largest radiator for golfs). I know it is a common upgrade but cannot seem to find a lot of info online.
Any tips on what "physical" changes I have to do to the Passat shroud for better fitment? I already cut a half circle to make it fit around the front engine mount but it is still not flush to the radiator on the alternator side. Should I trim the bottom to clear the crossmember? What did you guys do?
How are you guys mounting it to the rad on the alternator side? The original holes on rad and shroudon the battery side are perfect, but how about on the alternator side? Custom brackets?
I got the Passat fan connector and was planning on just replacing the golf's original conector but noticed the wires on the Passat plug have larger diameter. Made me think the Passat fans pulls more amps which may pose a fire hazard if I just splice it to the original golf's harness. Am I overthinking it or should I use relays?
Any info, pics or guides are welcome!
