I installed a newer radiator fan from a 1992 Jetta in the salvage yard. The newer fan has a more powerful motor, more blades, and instead of a resistor, it actually has dual power connections to the windings instead of one. I got a plug from the salvage yard, and I made a VERY simple harness for the fan. Power goes from the stock radiator connector to the radiator thermoswitch, where two wires come out, and go to the high/low pins of the fan connector. The ground goes from the fan to the stock wire connector. No relay - it is not required, and a relay will not make the fan faster in this case.

Trying to fix the Dasher’s megasquirt problems. After a day of tinkering, it does run… Not perfect yet though.
Today we went to a salvage yard in North Denver. Lots of good stuff!
We pulled the LONG battery cables out of two different e30 BMWs - and there were more there.
We got an oil cooler setup from a Volvo turbo.
There were a few interesting VAG cars there, including many Audis - even an Audi V8.
Pikes Peak as seen from Colorado Springs.
Then BUST!! (you know, Pikes Peak or Bust!)
I took a trip through Garden of the Gods. This is why Colorado is called Color-rado (red)
Went to A1 U-pull-U-pay in Colorado Springs. Lots of neat stuff there. Most of it is rust free…
Woodland Park, Colorado. The view of Pikes Peak is different here than it is from Divide, which is also different from the view in Colorado Springs. During the 48 State trip, I am going to drive my Scirocco up to the top on the Pikes Peak Highway.
There are many tuned Diesel trucks around here. This one parked next to me for comical effect.
Here’s a few pics from my swap to Polar Silver doors from an 82 Scirocco.
I found that my mom saved these speakers - they run on 12v like many kinds of Computer speakers. Now they are a Scirocco Stereo!! FOR FREE.
There’s fixin’ my rocco, foxes, Celica, dogs, butterflys and more!
These are the pictures of the ride from Denver to Divide, CO - take a look!
There’s pictures of the AIr Force Academy, The Garden of the Gods, the roads, the fancy Wal-Mart they built in my Hometown, Woodland Park, and the view from my parent’s house.
