I was told that could be the issue, i have had it off and it doesnt look to clever! Seems like a worthy investment to replace!

That is the only thing i can think of tbh. You've tested the fan manually and it works on both speeds, so there isn't a problem there.

You've checked the fuses too and they are OK.

So yeah, I would say replace the fan module.  :wink:

put a new coil, fan relay and ECU relay on the golf! But i have an issue... When it came to fillin the rad system up, i found i have the dreaded heater matrix issue! footwell full of water! ive read about this and seems like the only way is to take the dash out? But is this really the only way, surely a hose has just unclipped or something? Can i just un plug the hoses from in the bay and join them together and sack of my heating lol?

Thanks again for all the help
Dan
