Hi
I've had an ongoing issue with my 2008 golf 1.9 BXE engine in that the cooling fan just comes on whenever it wants and usually stays on for quite a while. This is obviously effecting the idle speed and I've noticed my mpg has dropped.
I've had a few suggestions as what it could be and have so far changed both the coolant temperature sensors ( one in the lower hose and the one in the side of the engine). The cooling fan (mine is the single large one) and today have changed the air con pressure sensor.
When the fan comes on it is on full speed that made me think it was something to do with the air con. Hence why i change the pressure sensor.
I am now stumped as what to look at next. If it is something to do with the air con is there a way of disconnecting the system so I can eliminate this or simply leave the air con disconnected (not like we really need it here)
Thanks
