Does the fan suck or blow?

Post by NC35 »

Hi,

Can someone please clarify for me - does the cooling fan blow air onto the radiator (top), or pull it through the radiator (bottom)?

Thanks!

It definately sucks. If it blew, it would be on the other side of the rad.

if you think about it............

if it was to blow then it would be drawing air from behind it,which wouldn't do any good.
