Can I fit it to my 8v GTi?

Why? some may ask... What's the point?

Well, if I was planning a long trip in hot climes....

I *think* that all you will need is the fan itself. I have fitted the twin fan arrangement to a couple of 205s and a ZX - all had the same twin moulding and it was just a case of fitting the extra fan.
Wiring is slightly more tricky if you want to mimic the original operation - when low speed the fans are run in series (i.e. 2 6V fans) and at high speed in parallel (2 12V fans). The easiest way to do it is keep the low speed operation the same (single fan slow) and then trigger a relay when the original fan kicks in at high speed to power the 'new' fan.

Well, I'll soon find out......

thats a short blade fan cowling so you will need another SMALL BLADE fan motor to go in the other side, other than that it will fit! Best bet is to find a second single fan in a double cowling and fit the whole lot! I prefer to fit two regular fans as they are bigger outright!

I've got another short blade fan hanging about somewhere...
