hi there....i have a 1994 golf A3...the radiator fan wont start, thus the car begins to overheat...can someone help me with this issue?? thanx

 

check the fuses, the connections, and if all that checks out, get a multimeter (volt meter) and test the wires going to fan and see if its getting power

Then, could be the motor, or fan itself. The above troubleshooting steps will help detemine if you are getting power to the fan. If you are, then you know it IS the fan or motor itself. Order one, or grab one used, they should be much, especially used, or from a "U Pull It" Junkyard...

Post your findings / results, We're curious to how you make out.
