Sparesoft 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hello all,Had a small problem with the VR over heating earlier today while I was waiting in traffic, temp gauge went off the scale and the temp light started to flash. Pulled off the road and stopped the engine immediately, popped the bonnet open and found that the fan right hand fan (the belt driven one) had jammed and caused the fan motor to burn out.I've got a new motor anywho and will change it later, what I need to know tho is how to test it after Ive fit it.

Sparesoft 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ok, new problem.The new fan that I got from GSF yesterday is the one without the pully on the front to drive the other fan, so I rang them again to see if they had the one I wanted and they don't do it, so I went to eurocar parts and they have the one I want for £100 but can't get it for 2 days, tried VW on the off chance and they could get one in 2 days for £240!!So I'm pretty much boned now and I needed the car tomorrow...Don't suppose anyone has got a spare or an old one?

VeeRsix 0 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Not familiar with the setup to be honest ,but cant you fit the new motor to the orignal housing ? thus gaining the second fan drive.Or better still get a fan from the scrappers (any fan) and wire/fit to the original housing.And to check the new fan/setup runs just short the stat that handles the switching.Stephen Link to post Share on other sites
