Skoda Estelle Rapid Radiator Fan 

 

Can group members provide assistance.. I require a radiator fan or a modern replacement workaround option.

 

Have group members experienced problems in this area.

 

I look forward to replies

For electric driven (and switched) fans for other "classics" some have just bought from scrapyards (and/with shrouds perhaps) off other makes and model of cars and had lots of luck with fit and years of reliable service (I would never had such good luck, I didn't not even with some brand new expensive systems and parts).

 

There are many aftermarket fans and kits available that can be attached to the radiator, if you have the room a fan that sucks the air through (rather than blows through) is more efficient.  You can also have variable switching so you set when it activates and override switch to switch it on when you want (this always seems like having a dog and barking yourself to me).

 

Best thing is to have all the cooling/heating system clean inside and out (engine, radiator & heater matrix) with coolant that is still in good condition and all parts and components clean and working well.

 

Also, again, have you had a look and considered also posting in Skoda Classic Cars & Parts For Sale. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/406-skoda-classic-cars-parts-for-sale/

 

HTH.

 

As well as Kenlowe you could look at the Revotec fans and fixings but they are expensive and the switch relays, when I had them at least, not as good as they should be but you could buy the fan and make your own fixing and wiring, or use what's on the car perhaps(?).  T

here used to be people that worked there that you could actually talk to over the phone (or at shows) about 5 years ago but I've no idea now.
