Hi
My Mk4 Polo overheated today because the cooling fan is not working. I have checked the fuses. The Haynes manual suggests disconnecting the cooling fan thermostatic switch and bridging the relevant contacts in the wiring plug. Trouble is I can't find the switch. Haynes says it is mounted on the left-hand inner wing. Not sure which is left side in their convention. Is this on the coolant reservoir side? Any tips on how to locate the switch would be appreciated.
Is it easy to replace the cooling fan motor? (It looks quite cramped in there). If so, is EuroParts the best bet for a competitively priced unit?
Best regards
David
