    After Market Thermo Fans

    Hello..... I need to change the thermo fan on my GTI 8V, and from what I understand the original fan is a 2 speed.
    What i would like to ask is.... are the 3 wires running to the original fan = 1 wire-negative, 1 wire-stage 1, 1 wire 1-stage 2. If that is the case can I run 2 slime line Davies Craig fans? 1 setup for stage 1 and the other for stage 2?

    Thanks guys

    You will be fine.
    I'm using 2 cheap thermo's, without a shroud, A ok.

    You can get away without a fan, so long as you don't stop too often (I did it for 2 weeks)
