Hi all,
Just thought i'd throw few photo's up of a repair to the small radiator fan, my large one had started going faster then usual and making noise as well documented. My car is first of the Mk6 Gti 09 build with 95k on it.
I pulled apart hoping Brushes were stuck but unfortunately they were worn out. So I replaced them, hopefully solder will handle the load.
It required cutting old brushes out and blowing a lot of dust out and cleaning rotor up. Also bit of grease on bearing bush.
I used multigrips to squeeze V tabs together and later spread back apart, but be careful, to much force will break them.
I've seen some post suggest a lot of parts removal to get fans out of car, but I found it only necessary to remove air intake pieces off radiator top and the lower plastic shroud then pull fans out through bottom.
