nocrap 0 Posted March 10, 2007 the one under the diz only operates the guage (if it's the same as the 2l, which i think it is) there is another that does sends temp to the ECU but i dont think that that would have any affect on the fan coming on. Just to rule it out change the switch in the rad again, if not i think you've got to start checking the wiring or the fan itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew mitton 0 Posted March 10, 2007 ive tried the fan and that seems to be workin fine if i bridge it out .is there a sender on the oil cooler ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nocrap 0 Posted March 10, 2007 there's an oil sender on the left front corner of the block but i dont think that'll have any influence on the fan as that'll be controlled by the switch thats in the rad.......what temperatures it the car reading? AFAIK stage one fan will come in around 95* and then stage 2 at around 110* - 115* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew mitton 0 Posted March 10, 2007 i have snapped the gauge sender on the block messing around wiggling wires (v v shit) so i have to order one or do you know where i can get one? if i get tthis it would be a start! ive gone to the vw agents and they sais 10 days(not good) do you know any quicker idea?cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nocrap 0 Posted March 10, 2007 http://www.vwspares.co.uk do the guage sender one for a couple of quid....but like i said this as far as i know only sends the signal to the gauge and has no affect on the fan or ecu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
