What started out as just a replacement rad had turned out to be a bit more in depth 

HBV valve done but then i had to replace the rad/then the condenser was falling to bits 

First off as well was the anti roll bar bushes..under the gold paint .



Got rid of some weight and junked the condenser and fans ...quite heavy these items



Now plenty of room to gain access to the aux belt and next on the list ...cambelt

Those 2 fans in front are the cooling fans...  ...best ensure they go back in

Took the words right out of my mouth!!

Whats the fan at the back of the main rad for then ?

Just as well there easy enough to get back in 
Cant work out why there is 3 fans ...i thought these 2 were for the condenser ?

[omega3000]

3 cooling fans ? I guess this is normal ?

[omega3000]

Anyone ?   ?   ?   ?   ?

Anyone ?   ?   ?   ?   ?

Yes, all three are used for engine cooling it required.

Ok thanks andy , no hassle to replace them i just thought they were for the air con rad only so i was going to leave them off as ive done away with the air con .

Cheers

funny topic,..

Keep them off mate, They are aircon rad fans, which also helps air get through to the main rad fan.

If youve removed the aircon and rad, then you need to remove these too as they are not needed. the main rad has its own fan.

Bang on the money with no aircon you dont need the aircon fans

I have had my air con rads removed now for two years without any issue's, as said if you have removed your aircon then you can keep the aircon rads off but upto you.

The aircon rad and fans restrict airflow to the main rad, which is why omega v6's run so hot all the time, Removing the aircon rad and fans is one of the best mods you can do, Engine temps are perfect after this and run nice and cool.

Mines been done for a couple years too, along with my brothers, dads and everyone else i know with omega's have done the same.

Keep them off and youll see for yourself

Well i never      im going to rip them out now , i had to make a make shift bar to hold the air con rad fans hold up as the rubber grometts were shot . I did wonder why these 2 fans were needed without my air condenser  aid cooling it will ...nice to know you have done this mod and passed on the info

But it might get warm outside and you will need your Aircon
