Hi:
I have a 01 Jetta 1.8t. The small fan spins but the big one does not. Can I assume that the big fan has failed and replace it or do I need to look deeper. Any help?
Thanks,
Don Shank

Are they tied together with a belt?

Check your fuses on the battery tray. You should have voltage at that fan. If you don't have a test light or meter, carefully try tapping the motor of the fan with a small hammer of blunt object taking notice of any changes in operation.

Madesio, Thanks for your suggestion. Tapping the motor caused it to spin, but not with any real force. Now what do you think.
