I have a new belt on stock, so will replace that first. Been doing some off-road and greenlaning. There was some mud and water on the engine, maybe the belt suffered from that.

I hear a squeaking noise when turning fully left or right. also the alternator light comes on. So, I thought it was the belt. But after adjusting the belt the noise is still there. it only happens driving slowly around a corner and steering wheel fully left or right. Can it be something else...

Here is the link, hope it works, http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/fitting-elec-fan-onto-200-tdi-radiator-245013.html

Small comment from me. Please be carfull with the wiring. I made a small mistake installing a car radio, took the wrong feed wire and all most burned the whole wiring harness. Ask somebody to double check it for you if your not 150 % sure.

What ever you do, do not fit the fan directly onto the radiator with the supplied plastic tie-raps that have to be put through the element. I just had a leaking rad. Because of that. I made metal strips on the frame of the rad. , see my post on this.

The fan is fitted lower then the strips, as close as possible to the radiator to avoid false air.

Same situation here, new rad. Hoses , pump etc. I will buy a new stat. and let you know.

Thanks, i bought 200tdi stat. , so must be ok. I will take it out and check the temp. , should be stamped on the stat.

today fitted a new radiator, i have put the fan on two metal strips, just before the radiator, the strips are bolted to the frame

Yes, sorry , i was thinking wrong😬

Remember i live in sunny Holland😜

Well, i think so. Not during driving, but i was stationaire for 1 hour last weekend with running engine, then i needed it. Also in slow trafic at hot summer days

Thanks for the info. , today started working on the radiator. Putting a new one in, elec. Fan Will be in front of radiator on two metal strips.

Hi, I have a 2.5 n/a - 200tdi conversion and I also think that temp. is a little bit to high. With the old engine the needle was right in the middle and now it is 3/4 of the scale. Still ok but higher. I do not understand how the water temp. can get 94 C when the thermostate is 82 C ?

Hi, it's been a long time I was on this form, but now I have an question. I have done a 2.5 n/a to 200 TDI conversion in my 110 1984. No problems. I have fitted a elec. fan onto the radiator by using the supplied plastic straps, you have to put though the radiator. Now the radiator leaks...
