What about twin fan set up from 16v and vr6

I'm pretty sure the other fan is for aircon.  :undecided:
Must be cos my 8v has a twin set up :smiley:

The fans are linked together via a drive belt so wont be for aircon.
I made the assumption it was air con as all my 8v without air conditioning had single fans and this one twin fans and ac.
It is a late run out model so could be an option chucked in??

OP, how hot is your oil getting? Could your oil not be getting cooled or cooling the engine properly?

Oil temp gauge no longer works. It failed some weeks before the rebuild and just one of those things I keep forgetting g about. I don't think the oil is getting too hot. The oil cooler is only around a year old.

I'm gonna retry the stat and got my new fan and try sort this sh*t out next time I'm home.
