2003 Pol 1.4TDI cooling fan issue

Post by GPV-Polo TDI »

Good day everyone,

My dad have a 2003 Polo Classic 1.4 TDI with 146K km on, the problem we having is that the cooling fan keep on running when the car have been switched of, to get it to switch of you have to remove the battery terminal for a while and then it will be ok again....lately it keep on running even when cold and the removing of the terminal does not help now. Is there anything that we can test to get to the root of the problem.

Thank you in advance.

Gerrit

@Panic-mechanic,

Thank you for your advise, I have changed the relay module and it look like it solved the problem......would like to know how VW justify their price of R2980.00 for the unit, same unit at Golwagen costing R337.00?????
