Has it been done by any one with a t2 2.7 if so how have you controlled how fan is turned on and where have you put the sensor

I fitted twin electric fans on my old terrano, had a sensor wired in to control box so you could adjust when the fans kicked in

My sensor went into the top radiator hose.

Did you notice much difference with the electric fans?

Was a little better on fuel and in cold weather the engine got up to temp quicker.

That's cool bud I like that. Where did you fit sensor to as I reckon in thermostat housing where other sensors are is best bet.

You are right, looking at the picture, he's fitted it into the top rad hose, you can see the wire coming out under the jubilee clip.
