Diesel AC Fan

I need to replace my dead AC fan on my 3.0D.

The diesel version comes with a control unit but the petrol variants do not. Does anyone know the reason for this or the function of the control unit?

I have seen on drive2.com that some russians have fitted the petrol version to their diesels successfully and only needed to trim some plastic off the bottom of the shroud to accommodate the intercooler.

The price difference is significant and I would happily get the dremel out if the control unit is superfluous. Thoughts?

Here are the parts:
