A piece of plywood at the inside of the grille works nice too. We once did a test in autumn with a thermometer in the tube at the right footwell. It showed 70 degrees. Not bad...but the grille cover is needed.

Scroll down, there is some photos about making heat exchangers more efficient. Funny language, google translator might help a little...

Neoprene tubing and properly set up controls.
Even when it’s been below 0 this winter it gets WAY too hot in my 2cv.
Electric fans are a bodge, you have a 9 blades fan doing up to 6000rpm - what are you expecting a diddy electric blower to do? :lol:

Get it set up properly!

Try driving a 2cv when -20Deg C, you don't need a fan!

I think I should probably re think cooling on the shed as its probably over cooling as it has a lot of ventilation at the front. Good for hot countries I guess ..... If I ever live in one :lol:
