Way back in the day I think IDParts got me one. It's the same fan as used on the Corrado and B3 Passat VR6.

It's one of the few that is a 3 speed motor. But if you can only find a 2 speed it's easy to rewire. I'm trying to remember how the factory wiring is set up... I think the AC being on, and 1st level on the radiator temp switch activates speed 1, AC high pressure or the 2nd level in the rad temp switch activates speed 2, and there's another temp switch on the cylinder head that activates speed 3.

Thank you. I can send you picks of the connects if that helps? Im checking all the local junk yards too.
Wish i could find just the fan motor? Might have to send it out for a rebuild? Or get it rebuilt and keep as a spare if i can find another one?
my email is, Denno56@gmail.com

The part number is 357-959-455-L and non-OEM (Chinacool, unfortunately) are available still.

Just google that part number. There is also a little belt that runs over to the second fan hub. That part number is 1H0-119-137-A. These are also available.

Fortunately, despite the strangeness and rarity of the A2 Ecodiesel Jetta, it does share a handful of parts with other VAG products of the same vintage.

While you have everything apart, you can verify the berings on the slave fan are in good shape, too.

I am having a hard time trying to find one of those cooling fan motors?

FCP euro says they can get one:

VW Engine Cooling Fan Motor - Nissens 357959455L

VW Engine Cooling Fan Motor - Nissens 357959455L

www.fcpeuro.com

You could likely make the fan from other models work too, with a slight rewiring (just have speed 2 or speed 3 activate high speed on the fan).

Thanks I will give it a shot.
The part #’s on the Bosch motor are
357-959-455-H not L. I wonder what the difference us?

I Had an Eco Diesel for a couple years back in the 90’s it absolutely was amazing! I had to put a cooling fan on it…I sold it to buy my 1st TDI in 1999!
