[urq] Radiator Fan

[Justin]

I forgot to mention, I believe that only the US version of the UR have the 3
speed set-up, so re-placing the fan with a one speed set up shouldn't be a
problem...(as long a the AC wiring is the same, if you want to keep the
AC...).

The air-flow effiecntcies of  SPAL type fans are defiantly greater than the
older technology Bosch 3-blade fans....

I currently have a SPAL 14" fan for my 4kq.  It's fits perfectly, and you
can even keep the fan shroud.  Best of all, the SPAL fans are much more
efficent, and take up less room (thickness), than the outdated Bosch fans.
I paid $135 for it.
