Dornish4561 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 hi i have a 2007 a3 1.9tdi , the previous owner has done a twin electric fan conversion on the radiator. I am not keen on the way the wiring is done and would like change the wiring and tidy it up more . question is does anyone have a wiring diagram for this . or nos what the colors of the fan shroud plug are . number 1 is a thick red wire , 2 is a thin black wire , 3 is a thin green wire and 4 is a thick brown wire . any help would be appreciated please.

Steve Q Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 As much as I can't help you on the wiring. The question formes need to be asked as to.why the previous owner has fitted a twin electric fan setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 What about the wiring do you dislike? Is it unsafe, untidy, ugly colours? Being" not keen" on it tells us nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornish4561 Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 the electric fans are installed , as the car has a upgraded bigger radiator . The wiring is wired to a toggle switch for the fans , i want to redo the wiring to the original plug that plugged into the old fan shroud.

cliffcoggin Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I can't help with the details of the wiring. Have you looked on line for wiring diagrams? I know I have seen them in the past. It would be worth checking if the car's original wiring will withstand the extra current resulting from using two fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Cliff could be on to something there. Let's face it, no one creates extra work by fitting additional wiring if there's wiring there, unless the old wiring can't take the extra power.

The only diagram i could find , with out uploading pictures , quotes the 2 thin wires on the plug being low speed relay . The to thick wires being high speed relay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully get where you're coming from and if it can then it's the route I'd definitely take too 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
