Hi All

Nope, only when rad fans on.

Yet another reason to ditch the viscous  :-X



intercooler fan has habit of seizing.  Free it off, then connect it up to a car battery for an hour, that frees it up

Mine was removed for the 18 months I ran it - that includes nice weather, and some not so nice weather, and giving it large up the passes in the Lake District.

Maybe in hotter climates, but UK never saw mine go above the normal running temps (and nowhere near the 100C markings on gauage)
