Black box near the expansion tank??

[sciroccotune 0]

What does the black box near the coolant expansion tank do? I’m guessing it’s a vag alarm or something; It has vw part numbers on it which I can get later and the alarm siren sits just in front of it.

 

Next question is what does the fuse in it do? It was broken so I replaced it but nothing ‘new’ works, or doesn’t :lol:

That was quick!

 

Yeah sorry on the lack of details front :oops:

 

Its a 2l 16v. Kreg.

 

The thing I am talking about is mounted to the suspension tower infront of the expansion tank.

Cool Im one step closer to understanding the C:D So what would have happened if the fuse was dead?

The fan wouldn't come on and your engine would over heat in traffic!
