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

I've seen it on Rennlist and I'm going to go it to my 01' S this weekend. Anyone interested in pictures and directions?

POST 2Original post

Sure. (What's a radiator fan hack do?)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It allows you to manually turn the radiator fans on/off as well. There is also a mod to manually turn the engine fan on/off as well. I'm going to build a cheesy set up at first until I can order custom switches that look OEM. Here is the idea behind it,posted from a guy on Rennlist Needle at right side of 180 means your temperature is 215F+. Goal is to keep the temperature below 200F which is easier to address while temps are low rather than having to cool it down to that level.

POST 4Original post

Okay, sure, I might be interested in doing something like that. Post away!

POST 5Original post

I would also be interested! Could you post a link?

POST 6Original post

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry I haven't been able to post anything. I'm swapped at the moment. Work and World of Warcraft has been killing me lately. If you can't wait,go under the 996 section of Rennlist,search for fan &/or radiator mod and you'll find them.

I don't see the point of this hack at all. Why mess with Porsche engineering?
