took to VW mechanic today. He hooked up to vagcom & said he wasn't getting any faults. He then suggested I replace BOTH fans (at the tune of $700) at which point THEN he could tell me if the FCM was sending the correct signals to the fans.
suggestions????
SOURCE: 2004 Jetta GLS. Main cooling fan remains on after car turned off.
"Already
had replaced: both cooling fans, fan control module, coolant temp
sensor, fan switch, 4 terminal connectors. No trouble codes reported in
VW electronic diagnostic test. 2 different VW dealers and and my
mechanic threw in the towel. Any suggestions greatly appreciated."
This is a common problem with the VW..and no one has an answer WHY. (including VW mechanics)
THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE and should be implemented
