    Thankyou JMac!

    I have crappy AC and overheating at idle or slow moving traffic. I'll be checking the fans and fuses ...

    How difficult is it to replace fans? Hang-on that sounds like I'm going to do it myself ... um how much time and cost of parts for someone like yourself to fix it JMac (would you prefer I contact you off forum?).

    Cheers

    Same thing happened on mine, had noticed the aircon not working for a couple of weeks, One day sitting in traffic it started to creep over 90degrees.

    Noticed fans not running when I jumped out, turns out the fuse 99gti mentioned just needed a jiggle.

    I've noticed the fuse holder is looking a bit tired (OK half melted). Hopefully a jiggle will be all it needs.

    How much is a new fuse holder and where's the best place to pick one up? (I'm in Brisneyland)

    Just had to jiggle the fuse and she's all cool (pun intended).

    The cheapskate aussie fix is an inline fuse holder bypassing the broken part of the fusebox.

    Or buy another fusebox from VW.....

    That's not terrible. Might have to check the condition of my fusebox...
    Nothing to see here...

    Yeah could be alot worse. If mine is beyond reasonable repair I will get the part rather than try to solder in a $5 holder.

    I'm mostly relieved that I'm not up for new aircon/radiator or whatever else I thought it could be at the beginning.
