Just in case anyone was thinking about this upgrade, RUF quote 930Euros + VAT @ 16% and shipping to EU residents. This the cooler for the cars withOUT aircon...

Well as a compariosn, Gert has one at 1195euros....
Hmmm....when the car is driven normally (especially when cruising) the temp stays pretty much where it used to be (as you would expect). After say 5 minutes of some harder driving then I would say the needle is definitely a bit higher and rises much faster than before, but I haven't had any problems with overheating per se. I just figure that temps in the engine can rise really quite a lot faster than can be displayed, so it really is just a question of being safe rather than sorry....I haven't at all decided to go for this, as I think it might be over the top unless I start tracking the car regularly. So just a heads up in case it was of interest to anyone else....of course, most people have aircon so it might be a stretch...ha ha. Tony, where are you? You know you want one!

Hey Christer,
If you're not going to track the car, the "G12" fast-speed switch outta' work real nice for ya'. Real popular on the 993 board, allows you to run the oil cooler fan in fast-speed at will.
