Hi Andy, thanks for that, I thought as much on the location. I must say though I haven't of the auxillary fan before, but after checking, I do hear a buzzing sond from the left of the engine bay with the ignition on. I would cover roughly around 10-12 miles and oil temp is at 100ish, the water temp his middle guage around 7-10 miles.

thanks for the quick rplies all. I am concerned obviously. Does anyone have a picture of where the thermostat sits? Is it on the right side of the motor where the plastic pipe fitted with O rings slots into? Does anyone know of a quicker way to replace it, I remember when I was fixing the plastic pipe that snapped off, I ended up taking the front of the car apart just to be able to access the pipe running across the engine. I find so little literature on the VW Sharan, Haynes don't even do a manual for starter points.

Hi, I am not really sure if I have a problem with my Sharan VR6, but I would need your professional opinion. I have a N Reg Sharan VR6 Carat, standard spec, no chips or tuning. The Watertemperatur gauge shows the temperature just above half on the dial, even from a cold start it only takes a few minutes until it has reached half. This is drivng normal in town. The Oiltemperature shows just over 100 degrees centigrade, this is also very quickly at this temperature. Water and Oil levels are excellent, Oil is clean. Had a full service not long ago. Through the winter months, the Watergauge show
