Yes , so I don't need lots of cooling as mostly work truck then holiday hauling. I used to have pump and stuff in race mode but I rebuilt pump and put back to standard.

It sounds like front install is not much difference to rear. Obviously factory is cleaner and user friendly. Has anyone tried front only electric full size fan. Does the temp change or the engine/bonnet heat an issue. Anyone else have advice or input please.

Taking fan off for horsepower or fuel increase only works on petrol not square boxes

OOOOO that's helpful Loafer ! My viscus fan still works great without shroud. I was thinking the electric fan full size of radiator has it's own shroud. Contemplating front install for space between rad and engine...no fan on engine side. Or can put viscose on in summer on long trips. YES I...

Great point. Mine is basic...no ac , no fan coupling. So I have air flow through also you are very correct only need in slow traffic on hot days or very long steep hills. Thankyou for reply.

I wish to install an electric fan to a 300tdi. Has anyone a thought on fan to front of radiator. I have driven vehicles for years without a fan, and then randomly put the fan back on. So have proved 300tdi can drive without needing a fan. I have an electric fan but I'm thinking of installing to...

I find anything to do with loss of power regarding the battery causes other things to act up. So battery terminal, battery, alternator. Running like a wild animal when full charge power is corrected. I have found from experience.

Take air pipe off turbo then when it's idling spray wd40 in the turbo. Listen for bearing noise.rev it up and spray. 17mv would still run without loss unless intermittent. Try multi meter at idle and reved up to 2,000rpm. Before turbo winds up, and then holding it at higher revs and test for...

Yeah bad annoying fault ...needs cleaning every year. Even heat shrink, amalgamation tape or silicone hasn't stopped the oil getting in. I use brake or carby cleaner and air. Spray lots of cleaner then blow through with air and more cleaner and air. I was told cotton wool at either end of...

Price is about right for a full rebuild down in Essex. The green flat O ring is high pressure. Black is standard or low pressure. I'm remembering the black one is at the top of pump as a seal so put in wrong place however don't know why both were put in. alternator charge or don't. Bearings can...

I'm interested in the outcome of this as went through similar in the last 5 months with a customer. Ended up being sensor related but all because of battery and battery terminal clamps. Changed fuel pump and other bits to eliminate. Diagnostic and fault delete really helped alot.

I'm just remembering , I have a full kit somewhere. If I find I will let you know

Or drive into a mechanic and just ask if they can take off and tell you. Probably be able to buy from them right there. Personally I buy mixed packs of O rings and match up what I need, which is same as I'm saying about going to a mechanic

Nope but same size on all the pumps I've done. Sorry I haven't got any here to look at. The size is easy to find out. Just take out and measure. From memory it's the standard thickness not fat thicker O rings...but I could be wrong. Call or email Bosch and ask tomorrow. I will see if I still...
