I've owned my '99 C2 Cab for around 18months and it gets used very rarely due to mainly time restraints, but seeing as the weather has been great lately I've blown the dust off and got my wife to use it as the daily, whilst I have been traveling the 17miles miles or so to Bath a few times a week in it.

Now when the engine is cold and air con switched on only one fan works so I'm thinking it's more than likely the fan and maybe the resistor will need replacing and whilst I'm at it I'll replace the rads too.
Leading evidence: 'Use very rarely due' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace rads too' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Replace the resistor with a cheap alternative, look here and elsewhere on this site:-

It's running a 2.7 flat six aircooled motor :grin:
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.
Replace rads too

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.

Hi
I've been a member for a year or so and an avid reader but nothing much in the posting dept for that I apologise.
I've owned my '99 C2 Cab for around 18months and it gets used very rarely due to mainly time restraints, but seeing as the weather has been great lately I've blown the dust off and got my wife to use it as the daily, whilst I have been traveling the 17miles miles or so to Bath a few times a week in it.
It's pretty much up together, I put a full exhaust on it last year which now sounds great, it needs discs as they have corroded slightly on the insides, and I did notice whilst having an mot last year that the off-side rad had a very small leak, radweld was the cure for that.
So what with the temperature being in the late 20s this week I've been keeping a keen eye on the temp guage and noticed that the off-side fan isn't working, so what with the aforementioned leak I feel it's time I got to know my Porsche a little bit better.
Now when the engine is cold and air con switched on only one fan works so I'm thinking it's more than likely the fan and maybe the resistor will need replacing and whilst I'm at it I'll replace the rads too.
Question is where to get the rads, and if I need fans what's the options? I want to avoid dealer prices but want quality too
Thanks for reading
I love a post with a pic so here is my family :thumb:
Not sure where is best for the reds, it will almost certainly be the resistor not the fan though, so check that first.
When I did the rads on my C2 it turned in to doing the carriers as they were rotten, hoses as a 'whilst you are in there', condensers and fitting mesh on the bumper. Not hard job, just take a a bit of time.

Nice simple fix this, for anyone else attempting you will find continuity between the white and a green wire, these two attach to one end of the new Gold style resistor (I found that these two wires were in a plastic sleeve whilst the other green took a different route to the fan). All up and running, that's to all that responded 8)
