They suck air through the radiator so just stick your hand at the back of the fans and make sure you can feel air blowing towards the engine.

The fans should pull cold air in through the front of the car!! (front to rear) as though the car is moving forward.

NOT push warm air out of the front! This will cause an air stall around the rad and the engine to over heat.

So if they are turning clockwise and heat is getting pushed up to slam panel area this is wrong direction?

If you put your hand between the fans and the engine can you feel air blowing?

Put a piece of tissue against the front of the rad/intercooler, the fans should draw the tissue onto the rad

agreed with steve,

ir if you know a dirty smoker, get them to blow cancer at the front of the fans and see where it flows to
