So, I have plan to do the fan delete using Datatek's instructions, but instead of using the capillary thermostat attached to the coolant hose, I'm thinking along the lines of a sensor like this:
Fan Switch 97C/85C M14 x 1.5 - Car Builder Solutions - Kit Car Parts and Accessories
...screwed into the head. I have a non-egr DSE, so the head had two temperature sensors in it, but had the blanked-off holes to take an extra sensor.
So, is there any downside to the idea (I have the head off already, so ease of installation isn't an issue) and, if not, what temperature do you think the fan should come on at, as there are various versions of the sensor with different ratings? I realise I could us Nanocom to see what the running temp is, and base a decision on that, but the dismantled nature of the engine rather precludes that!
