Hello Rovers,
I'm a newbie on this forum, so a small introduction is in place.
I'm living in Groningen, the northeastern part of Holland (hence my 'broken' english). And I bought my 1969 P6B auto (Burnt Grey) about 5 year ago in the most southwestern point of Holland. My firts drive just after I emptied my wallet was somewhat nervewracking, but the car performed perfect . Mind you: it was a testrun of about 300 km (200 mls).
Since then I'm happily driving my P6 as a hobby. Only this year I've started to work on some improvements: 123-ignition, coil, HT-leads, electric fuelpump and some minor things.
Now my Q: I'm thinking of removing the standard cooling fan (no thermocoupling) and fit an electric fan. The P6 has no cooling problems and is running on 85 C even in summer, so the cooling system is in order. Of course there is a lot of info in this forum about electric fans, but I didn't found an answer to my question:
The electric fan is taking care of the temperature of the coolingwater, but what about the oil temperature of the gearbox oil? In the case of an automatic is it wise to fit an electric fan, regulated by coolwater temperature?
Thanks for your appreciated comment,
Rene
