fans run as soon as i start engine
« on: 02 June 2015, 18:24 »
hello, just picked a 2003 golf mk4 GTI 1.8 20v turbo AUQ engine 180 BHP, when I start the engine the fans start with in 5 seconds, a quick scan said temp sender down so fitted a new one cleared the errors and it still does it also when driving from time to time it seams like a miss fire like the engine misses for a split second, checked with scan again no errors any ideas out there
thanks dave
thats fooked it

ask vw if your coil packs were under the recall they had that might clear the misfire  :smiley:
