I saw performanceproducts offer a engine cooling fan for only $160,
that seems much more reasonable than the quotes I hear earlier.
Is this the correct one?

Does your car have one or two? If one, it looks right, and it looks like the fan only, no shroud.

I have one fan, euro car, no AC.

My own fan makes a terrible noise.

I mounted a big aftermarket fan. Cheaper than the factory one, moves more air, covers more of the radiator and uses less amps.

Got pics? I was thinking of a custom unit myself.

Am I right in that 924 fans play a very major role in cooling?

I took mine out today, only in traffic does the gauge go to creep up but about 75F today in UK & the fan going 10 to the dozen.

I get the impression if my fan wasn't working then I would be in trouble?

Simple install of a $50 14" slimline that pulls gobs more air than either the stock single fan or the dual A\C fan I also had mounted at one time. It is mounted to a 951 rad but I see no reason it wouldn't work as well on a 924 rad.

I did similar to Endwrench but bought a smaller unit and fitted it to the original cowling.
For the A/C I fitted a 12" on the front of the condensor in a 'push' configuration.
