Thermostat could have just gone today, maybe it's stuck, it's only a cheap part anyway, not more than ?12 from ECP.  :smiley:

Doubt its the thermostat, sounds like the radiator fan switch to me!

P.S. A genuine thermostat & seal is about ?13 from VW, so don't bother buying one from ECP ;)

The rad fan is completely seperate to either of the sensors in that flange so no worries there.  One of them should be for the dash gauge and another is for the ECU if you have a digifant engine.
