Fan

Is the radiator cooling fan supposed to be sooo loud that people say 'is it supposed to do that?'

When im stuck in traffic or sitting still for long periods the fan is really really loud - is that normal? Im not bothered if it is I just want to know if it's broken!!

I can hear mine when I'm outside the car but never heard it whilst inside.

apparently ALL gti's do this as it is a fault with the fans that VW never botherd correcting

i think its because there a 2 fans, a small one and a large one, the large one is only ment to run when its very hot and the small one for traffic jams and such, and they are ment to run seperate, but both run together,

dont quote me on this but its something like that and it IS a known fault

Thanks for the info. Do you mean it is a known fault and can be corrected by VW or just something we have to live with?
