What size fan for my polo radiator ?
I have a polo radiator & was wondering which size fan do most people use ?
If I measure the radiator top to bottom, a 10 inch fan would seem the best way to go.
Ideally I would like a 'puller' so that I can mount it behind the radiator.
Also, any advice on the best fan for the job or are the £24 eBay cheap'os fine ?
Cheers - Andy

Cheap ones don't push/pull nearly as much air as a proper one. You can always tell the difference between peoples cars. The more expensive ones
are faster and switch off much quicker than my cheap ebay ones.

We used a pair of SPAL 5" fans as used on Aprilia superbikes on our Phoenix. Paid £10 for one and £8 for the other.

Cheers for the reply, I might look out for a polo one then, it hadn't crossed my mind !
It might be a better option, especially if it has a cowling etc to bolt straight onto the lugs on my polo rad, nice & simple.
If not, I'm liking the idea of the bike fans too, that mount looks very nice on yours spyder.
