Mine used to do the same - sometimes it would go ape sh1t flicking left and right really fast for a few moments - then it would settle down again. Bizarre.

Has anyone here actually done the AU fan install or priced it up? You see some really well priced brand new thermo fans, and I'm just wondering what wreckers would be asking for the twin fan setup.

Wat does NOS mean, i see it heaps but cant figure it out eg: Get a NOS bootlid, and get it felly seam welded; none of this spot weld crap. Plus a new boot seal should help alot.

There was a turbo VK Wagon at the last brock cruise (Silver)that had an AU fan setup he said it was easy as and cost $50 from a wrecker
