I am not sure if the currant draw from the R4 is any different than the Sanden, but this mod definitely helps keep the condenser temps down by giving it a head start in stripping heat. About every couple weeks or so the fuse would blow, and I smelled it getting hot. I even used the ceramic bodied brass element fuses, and still got the smell. I recommend it for the current draw fix as well as to the cooling benefits. I find that the cabin cools down faster than without the condenser fan running from the start. Without this mod, the fan would come on much later, and have a hard time keeping up if the car was not at speed creating air flow across the condenser.
