WTB: Radiator Fan assy from a 92 Jetta TurboDiesel

[dropdtop]

Guys,, I'm looking for a Radiator Fan asssembly (dual fans) from a 1992 Jetta Turbo Diesel W/AC.

I'm not exactly sure what years will fit and I'm also looking for someone that may have a parts car that can include the pigtail harness with as much wire as possible  as my dad (previous owner) decided to cut it off and discard it with the hopes Speaker wire would be ok with a aftermarket fan "seriously"

If you have any leads on these 2 pieces lemme know,

Thanks,
Brad M

I would assume you're looking for one to fit an ECODiesel? (USA market). It's a turbo motor without the LDA on the injection pump.

The ECODiesel used the the same fan shroud and motor as the VR6 Corrado. Either way, they're hard to find. No-one lists the motor for the ECODiesel, but if you try a parts store and ask for one to fit say a 1992 Corrado VR6, then you should be good to go.

I've got a used one, but I'm not sure how much longer it will last. I'm sure it has at least 180K on it.

As for the plug, it's the same on 1999-2005 VW ANYTHING. Also, alot of 1993-1998 cars used the same plug. Essentially, it's a 3-speed motor (so, 4 wires). On the later cars, the different speeds were controlled by a unified relay on the firewall/inner fender. On the ECODiesel, it comes from a dual relay pack mounted to the firewall.

Thanks,,  whats the difference between the ECO (USA) and any other diesel of the USA market??

I would love to get just a new motor but my dad hacked in 2 fans from another vehicle,,  I want it back to the stock working condition.

the old fan had 2 fans run off a belt setup with one motor all i remember.

I think my dual fan setup came from a passat but i'm not sure.
This ones' been on Craigslist for a long time,.. probably due to the price:

and it's from a passat,

I have a dual fan set up from a turbo diesel passat.  I paid $170 from alphis, only to discover it was a sensor that was causing my car to run hot, and not the fan not working.

I live near vancouver and would like$135 plus shipping.  [email protected] 604 897 6280.

The ECO was the only turbo diesel VW available in the US between 1988-1992, and they were only sold in 1991-1992. It had a tiny catalytic converter, a non-boost injection pump, and oil squirters for the piston cooling. Essentially, it was a turbo block with a small K24 turbo on it, but because of the catalytic converter, it lacked the added fueling under boost (the soot would clog the cat).

Originally, your car should have been equipped with a dual fan with a dummy fan that ran off the main fan motor. This setup is SIMILAR to all other VW dual fan setups, but is UNIQUE to the ECOdiesel and VR6 Corrado. This is because they are A2 body platforms. Because of this, the radiator is narrow in height. So, later MK3 (1993-1998) and  B4 (1994-1997 Passat) or any other setup will not fit because the shrouds are TOO TALL. Also, the contemporary B3 (1990-1993 Passat) will not work with the fan relay setup your car has. While a B3 Passat dual fan setup will fit your radiator, it is only a 2-speed fan (3 terminals on the plug). The ECO and VR6 Corrado is a 3-speed fan (4 terminals on the plug).

So, if you want to wire up your car correctly, you need to source a 1990-1994 Corrado VR6 (NOT G60) or original 1991-1992 ECODiesel Jetta dual fan setup.

This is black box info. Most people are not aware that there is a difference, or what that difference might be. I've seen some pretty hacked up solutions (probably like your pop's) to the dual fan setup on the ECODiesel.

If you really want to go back to stock, I have a fan and shroud setup that is correct for you car. I also have 3 fan motor relay harnesses to boot (I parted out 3 ECOdiesels a while back). So, you could cut and splice, or simply plug into the main fuse/relay box and not have to splice.
