I have looked after a suitable electric cooling fan for my Mk4, but have
not found.
But I found a pile of 12V computer fans, which are very compact but very
low power rated (0.27A / 12V means about 3.5W with 13...14V).
On the other hand, they give a wind apprx. 20 km/h, and in those speeds my
Alpine does not overheat. At Scandinavian summers Alpine overheats only in
traffic jams at the hottest days (=20-25 centigrade). Might it be any use
to put let us say 10 fans at the front side of the radiator? It means only
35 watts output; well, air moves quite rapidly with minimium power...
