rad cooling fans, what difference?

[gribur]

  I have an MK3 golf AAZ i need a used cooling fan assembly and Was wondering what the difference is between the rad cooling fans  on a car with a/c and one without a/c.  Can you use either one?  Is $50 a good price for one used?
Cheers guys

non a/c - Auto trans fan is 450/250 watt two speed

man trans with or without air
a/c model is 250 watt single speed
1HM959455C

both models use a 305 mm dia fan

There is a belt that drives the aux 1H0119137

I would find any fan & shroud no lower than, as GEE-BEE stated, 250 watts. watts (over size) are a good unit of measure for the kind of air flow the fan can produce. Unless it was designed by people who shouldn't be making fans and is remarkably inefficient for what ever reason.

A little bit of a pain to do but a Ford Taurus fan and motor is the poor mans flex a lite.
