Intercooler fan -- worth wiring separately? S40-V40 '99

posted by  someone claiming to be Craig on  Tue Oct 17 22:51 CST 2000 [RELATED]

My '99 V40 2.0T (Euro-spec 160bhp model with the 1950cc engine) has two cooling fans: one for the radiator and one behind the intercooler.

Would it deliver any benefit if the intercooler fan could be wired for a manual override switch, so I could turn it on when I'm driving hard? Would it make any difference in keeping the charge temp. down when driving hard? What's your opinions on this? I don't get any engine problems, and being in the UK high ambient temps are not a problem ;-) but I wondered if it would help keep power output at optimum levels.
