Overheating on idle

[Holster]

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

Should have mentioned it is a 2002 V5 AQN Bora

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)

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!

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

Still reckon I should replace that fuse holder - recommendations?

Thank you all.

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

Or buy another fusebox from VW.....

For anyone else out there with this problem

Part number is 1J0 937 617 D
$106.70 from VW.

I might clean up the old one for now ...
