GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: GLI Cooling Fan Not Working At A Stoplight


Aug 9, 2013

So the car will only start to raise in temp over the mid (which is about 190f not sure exactly) when the car is at a stoplight for a good amount of time or the car is at idol, really whenever the car has no air being sucked in through the front it really only goes over temp slightly at a stop because the fans are not cooling it

Also it has been 80 degrees plus here for awhile. It never over heats entirely but I am looking for possibly causes here is a list below of what I think it could be :

Fuses
Fan relay
Thermostat
Or fan control module

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2004 - Driver Side Cooling Fan Out

I have a 2004 Jetta GLI VR6 (24v).

I noticed the driver side cooling fan stopped working (actually it sometimes goes on or off, but mostly off). I stopped using the A/C. The car has no overheating issues whatsoever. The 2nd fan (passenger side) kicks in when its appropriate

So I think its fair to assume that the fan gave out. In fact I remember using the A/C one day and a smell of burnt electronics/motor overcame me, so I popped the hood and noticed the driver side fan is a little absent .

Some simple questions:

I've been told by people that the 2 fans sometimes have different functionality, one for A/C one for Cooling blah blah. They are different sizes, the one affected is bigger. What is the reality here? Do they have specific purposes?

Should I replace both of them? Since the job is so labor intensive and the other cooling fan has in some way taken the burden of the non-working one?

Is there anything else that could prevent the driver side cooling fan from working (FCM?)?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 1st And 2nd Gear Not Working?

I was driving home and noticed that it seemed harder to shove the gear shift into 1st gear. I stopped on the way home and discovered that I couldn't put the car into reverse, when I tried, and then started to drop the clutch and go in reverse, it was as if the car was locked into both reverse and a forward gear, the engine would bog and the car wouldn't budge.

I popped the hood and checked the shift rods and they looked OK, no obstructions or broken parts. I played with the gears for a bit and finally reverse gear suddenly started working again, but now 1st and 2nd gear are gone! it does not feel as if it's engaging the gears at all, the lever moves free. No different than having it in neutral. 3rd gear and above all still work OK, so I had to use 3rd gear to get the car moving.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Transmission Won't Working Properly

Today I was driving getting on the highway while having the clutch engaged I went to shift into third and it was very hard to get it into gear. For the rest of the day today this was a problem and especially at higher rpm. I am pretty sure my clutch is going. I asked around local and they say it is the clutch. Do I need to also replace my flywheel or can I just use my old one?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Horn Not Working - Fuse?

The horn doesn't work, but when I lock the car I get the "honk" from the factory alarm...

Long story short...car got broken into, radio stolen, n00b-dumbass radio installer from the insurance company was fuddeling around with the fuse box to power the radio via a 12v source (again...long story). His hands were also behind the kick panel below the steering wheel to run some wires. I only noticed the horn not working a few days after this guy worked on my car. Coincidence?

Is there a fuse / relay that goes bad with our horns?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2004 - Cluster Illumination Not Working

My 04.5 GLI's cluster is so dim when illuminated (yes i have the dimmer turned up). I was comparing it to my friends GLS jetta and my other friends GLX GTi (they have a different cluster for me obviously, but same as each other correct?). Unfortunately there are no other 3/2/G's around the area to compare with. i have a new south color match boost gauge, and it is almost twice as bright as the cluster. yet it looked "perfectly matched" in my friends GLS. Are the 3/2/G clusters just straight up dimmer or what can i do to diagnose/fix this problem?

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Boost Gauge Not Working Properly?

I've had this problem a while but now i want to get around to fixing it.. my boost gauge is always at 0 now and sometimes when i drive the car it starts working but it starts like sticking... like when i didn't have my chip it would go up and down really fast between 10 - 15psi... i heard from a friend that you can take it apart and re-adjust some screws or something so it works like a charm... right now its just like frozen at 0 psi when i drive it doesnt go down or up.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Heat Not Working While Topping And Start Up?

The heat in my newly purchased GTI 20th AE doesn't seem to be functioning as well as my previous 2005 gti. The heat only seems to really work when I'm driving around with the engine turning atleast 2500 rpms. If I start the car up in the morning, the heat gets slightly warm, but nothing like it should. If I'm driving around town and come to a stop at a light, I can feel the heat cool down. The engine temp is perfect though. Stays at a consistant 190 degrees. I did a search and found a few relating complaints, but for different cars. Is there a valve on one of the heater hoses to the heater core that might not be functioning properly? blocked heater core?
