Help?? Golf 5 gti cooling fans staying on
Hi guys, need some help with my golf 5 gti. As soon as a start my car(even when cold) the fans come on, when I switch the car off they stay on until the battery goes flat. I have searched for a fan relay but cannot find it.. Anyone had the same issues.. Please help. Thanks

I think those relay are build into the fan? Have you scan for fault codes?

Re: Help?? Golf 5 gti cooling fans staying on
your car has x2 fans. the big one has the fan control module and relay circuit built into it, this can fail or the fan brushes can get stuck.
do both fans come on?
can you use vagcom to switch on the fans? you should be able to do this with the ignition on.

There are two coolant temperature sensors. One above the transmission next to the side of the head and another below the intake manifold. Make sure both are connected. Those could trigger the fans to run if unplugged or broken.
