(I tried to search but the search function has never worked for me on this site. Not sure why..just blank page below the header.)

I have an electric fan that does not currently work and a belt driven fan on my VW Passat. I am doing a bunch of mods and would like to completely remove the belt driven fan to save fuel but am not sure which is likely to be more fuel efficient. I have a feeling it is the electric fan, especially if only operated when needed via in cabin switch.

After I remove the power steering pump assembly the serpentine belt will be routed just close enough to barely touch the fan so it is likely not going to work with minimal contact anyhow.

Anyone else have experience with this and care to give some input? Thanks!
