My radiator fan has 3-speed with factory A/C.  Checked wiring diagram for
A/C confirmed my believe.  The highest speed rarely on though.
Syncro has a final drive ratio of 5.43 compare to regular Vanagon of 4.83.
The rmp is going to be higher on Syncro than regular Vanagon at the same
speed.   My tacho reads 4000rpm at 70mph (from speedo) but I knew the real
speed is around 65mph...
