Shouldn't have any problems, as far as I'm aware they're the same.

*EDIT* refer to wayne's post above (too slow)

They go straight in, you will just need to wire them up correclty.

Mine is using a variable switch and I think a copper temp sensor(?) into the top radiator house. You can adjust when it comes on and at what temperate, I just set it properly this weekend.

Fair enough, its a good upgrade I guess, more efficient in some sense.

clutch fan probably not doing much at high speeds beacause at high speeds there is allready alot of air flow. i dont get what people problems are with clutch fans. yes thermos are better but i only ever hear my clutch fan when i start the car at the start of the day and sometimes during the day when i start it. the noise is gone in like 30 seconds and i dont hear it ever when im driving except for really hot days.

Well if you choose thermos over a replacement clutchfan, make sure you get the top hose to seal properly after the thermoswitch copper capillary tube has been inserted into it. I used two hose clamps for mine and squeezed the bejesus out of the hose (by using a socket to tighten the clamps, rather than a screwdriver), leaving a 5mm gap between the two hose clamps. It's the hobo way :P

There is nothing good about them!

Nothing but benifits with Thermo's.

If I still had my clutchfan I'd stick a flap of cardboard in it so my car sounded like a harley.

And I'd buy pimp wire rims & put spokey dokeys on them.

This is my crap post for the day.
