do VW guys have a mod to ditch the vac pump, mine makes more noise than the engine! Im thinking about using the electric pump from an s40 (you can go faster in a quiet car) its no good having a sleeper if everone looks up cos of the noise!I might fit electric fan also them old volvo fans make a crap load of noise too any thoughts welcome. going to the street rod nats tomorrow hope the suns out.

I have a E-fan on my d24. To get more clearance I'm using a 92+ 740 radiator

Did the stock radiator not allow the e-fan to fit once you took out the clutch fan? I have an e-fan from a Ford Taurus that I was planning on using. It seemed to fit ok when I mocked it up.

I've never heard of a common thing to use to remove the vac pump. Even the newer TDI's have vac pumps and brakes.

I sold the radiator before I could test fit it and it was not in that great of shape. I'm using a 17 inch E-fan I bought from Jegs for $80.

what fan switches you useing? what temp? I seen on bricks they use saab 9000, splices into top hose , that brake vac pump thing-most diesels seem to use a rotory type so it dont do that clack clack clack thing yeh vw still used it on quite late model vans, once you get the noise in your head you hear em coming a mile off D6s rule. Fan may even save 2 or3 bhp extra for the wheels, they need it lol.
