RE: 164 run on cooling fan

[KARL C CHEN <karlcchen@domain.elided>]

Dumb ? You got be kidding, that's a very smart observation.
I made the same remark long time ago about someone's new after 
market 164 radiator with run on fan.  MY VW has an auxiliary 
electric water pump with run on fan.  Maybe I can convert the
electric pump to be used on 164...

I did notice that without water pump going, fan stpped quicker 
since the radiator cooled sooner.

Hi All,
This may be a dumb question but what advantage is there having the fan
running after the engine is shut 
down when the waterpump isnt functioning. Surely you are only cooling the
water in the radiator and 
having no effect at all on the temperature of the engine internals!
