Oil cooler fan opinions wanted
We are considering changing our oil cooler fan. It is still working, but our A/C system cooler fan needed to be replaced this year so we thought we might take on this replacement in advance of it dying.
There are are two options, a Porsche replacement or an OE product made by URO. Has anyone used the URO product?

The oil cooler fan is critical to the health of your engine. If it were me, I would install a factory part. Think how long the first one lasted. They are expensive but have a good lifetime.

Personally I'd pass on URO (nicknamed U Replace Often ) and go with good used Bosch over new URO.

While you're in there, should the oil cooler relay be replaced also?

Definately replace the low speed resistor while it's easy to do so - even if it looks complete and still original. They're cheap enough. Both 964's I've had the resistors looked fine, until I touched them, then exactly the same problem as Jetta's image - fell apart. Might be worth checking the cooler temp sender too (for broken cable connectors etc).
