Title: radiator fan running ?
Post by: dstv on 30 January 2013, 20:46

As life go's....I just spend some money on toys for my golf.....and now something went wrong..
When i switch the car off, the radiator fan starts or is running. Even if I drive up the road for like a 2 min drive. I had it at the shop today and they think its the radiator solenoid (if that's the right thing)priced at £120
I really dont want to spend money on parts if its not whats broken..

Any ideas would be great.

if it's hot it'll continue to run after engine is off for about 20 seconds

Fan control unit fried, or maybe a fuse problem?

Check fuses on top of battery or fuse F16 according to the thread above /\  :wink:
