AJmk2 2 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 My car seems to keep a really low temperature all the rime around the 70 range when driving normally but gets quite high before the fan kicks in. What sort of temperature is the maximun i should be getting to before fan cuts in ? Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Gotta remember first fan speed is really quiet, 2nd I can hear and the 3rd setting is like a jet taking off sometimes Link to post Share on other sites

AJmk2 2 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Didnt know it had a variable speed fan on it. Had problems with my last car overheating and now get very paranoid. Link to post Share on other sites
jasonoldy69 1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Doesn't the fan only come on when the radiator is in use? Because the thermostat only lets water into the radiator at a certain temp?And, apparently the thermostat sticking is common fault in Golfs. Link to post Share on other sites

jasonoldy69 1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Closed. If it stuck open I guess it be constantly cool. But, say like in the winter when you turn your heating on, it won't get warm very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
jasonoldy69 1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Infact in another Golf I had overheated alot and the fan only came on at the last minute at full speed. And, I'm sure that was because the thermostat gives way last minute. Link to post Share on other sites
