Re: [alfa] Skinny Euro fan

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Biba:

I've got a Euro fan on my '87 Spider, I'm in S. Florida, and it's worked 
fine for the last year, or so.  My Spider has a relatively new OEM radiator 
and water pump, the coolant is 80% Dex-Cool and 20% distilled water, with a 
bottle of Redline's WaterWetter.  After several minutes at idle, on the 
very hottest, sunny and humid day, the water temp gauge will show 210F, but 
only until the car is moving again.  Otherwise, it's always at 185F, and 
I've checked the accuracy of the gauge.  Also, the shroud is intact, and in 
place.  FWIW, I didn't notice any difference in the noise level, as 
compared to the original fan.

Regards,

Dean
