[QUOTE="fallingoffalot, post: 630456, member: 28771"] Hi folks, I've been wondering why my oil-cooler never comes on and whilst poking about today found that the fuse had blown. It was 5A, doesn't sound like enough. I tested the cooler with a direct connection and it ran fine. So I went out and bought a 12V 30A relay and a 15A inline fuse, so now the 5A switched supply turns the relay on, which then powers the fan from a separate battery supply through the 15A fuse (when the temp sensor triggers). Basically I did this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=568998&postorder=desc[/URL] I've looked at the fan itself and there's no rating spec written on it, so does anyone know what kind of current these fans pull (I think it's 8"). Cheers [/QUOTE]
