Recently I noticed the cooling fans running a lot more frequently, especially running around town. I took a look and the small fan is no longer running. While the car was at the dealer for a VCDS update this week, they told me I had a fan failure code. Of course they tell me both fans have to be replaced because the small fan failure burnt out the fan relay which is part of the large fan assembly. They want about $1000 for the repair ($600+ for parts)
There is no way I am going that route, it looks like a simple if somewhat tight job. The question I have is should I replace both fans when it is apart ($350) or should I just replace the small fan ($99) Could the small fan toast the relay? TIA
