I got one from my local shop that cater european parts, but it is the same as 88 VW
Golf GTI 16v fan switch (3 pin) , look it up on www.thepartsbin.com, they have it.
Listing on 90 coupe quattro only showed the higher temp one, which is the same part number of the higher temp fan switch on the Golf GTI.

Hey guys.

seemingly putting in a 3 speed motor should not be a problem.
Well that is with a fuseable link, relay, and breaker?
I am thinking of putting in a 50amp relay infront of all the wiring with a
breaker like on the rs2 headlight harness from 2bennett on a power feed to
the allternator, and a 80amp fuseable link probably grounding that on the
abs/brake grounding point.
fan motor? I am not sure yet.
But I like the idea of jumping up to a 352mm fan blade.
I'll keep everyone posted on what I end up doing.
Cheers

The only problem i had with 4 blade is the noise, It is ungodly noisy, even
sometime, I had to shut the car down if i want to order food from drive
thru. I also put lower temp fan switch (the three prong swich in the lower
parts of radiator). The low fan speed turn on when the gauge just almost
reach the first thin mark of the temp gauge.

built much better than Nissen.

really sure if the 4 blade will give more flow since it might make the fan
motor more work, thus lower rpm on the fan motor to turn the 4 blade fan.

Hi Josh
I'm not sure where i get the 4 blade fan from, but i believe I got it from
80-84 rabbit. i got it from pull yourself junkyard in my town, they have
really good selection of vw and audi.
The diameter of 4 blade are the same with 3 blade, which work perfect. The
only problem i had with 4 blade is the noise, It is ungodly noisy, even
sometime, I had to shut the car down if i want to order food from drive
thru. I also put lower temp fan switch (the three prong swich in the lower
parts of radiator). The low fan speed turn on when the gauge just almost
reach the first thin mark of the temp gauge.
The original radiator made by behr, the replacement radiator i got is AKG,
it is plastic cap and aluminum core. I got it from
rod at Thepartsconnection.com I also ordered the new radiator rubber mount
from him. I went with akg since it is lighter and according to Rod, AKG
built much better than Nissen.
Until now i dont really understand why the 7a engine only have 2 speed
while other smaller vw engine have 3 speed fan, even my 16v 1.8 have 3
speed fan.

Sport quattro:
443959455h
700w 352mm
This thing is an animal :-)If I am understanding this right?
Etka also states that the sport quattro uses the same fan cowl as the 7a
motors.
859 121 207a for the sport quattro and
893 121 207a for the coupe quattro but the first three #s don't matter.
This motor is preity expensive too btw:
$413.00
So am I understanding this right? 700w = 700 watts?
