Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

My C2 tends to run a bit warm in stationary traffic this time of year, I might look at fitting a manual switch to run the fans full speed or a lower value resistor to run them faster on aircon.

Suggestion

There are as mentioned some pretty cheap resistors that can be fitted so that might be a better option than the fan running full pelt all the time the a/c is on .

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys I have been informed that these can be bypassed by joining pins 87 from low speed relay to the high speed relay (as a hack). I dont mind the noise of the fans at high speed. Can anyone confirm this is okay ? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Yes it would work .. link here that has the diagram for the relays .. There are as mentioned some pretty cheap resistors that can be fitted so that might be a better option than the fan running full pelt all the time the a/c is on . http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=127681

POST 6Original post

Sorry young man .. my mistake .. I actually posted at first how to wire it up for a switch .. then as i sat here reading it for spelling mistakes ( im good at those ) i realised you know full well how to wire it up and it made me sound far too cockey ! So i deleted it and posted not needed for the post and not what you were going to do. But .. im a Porsche man and am happy with how Porsche desgined the cars .. ok well happy enough When the car starts to get too hot the second stage will cut in .. about 103-104 degrees which to my mind is fine .. ive never seen any problems with overheating anyways. So technically you dont need to do anything but if you want to wire up a switch to bypass it im certainly not going to argue .. its a safety over ride in a sense and things like that are always a good idea .
