have a 2001 allroad my aux. fan stopped working ...wondering if anyone knows where the relay or fuse to it are....and my a/c stops cooling at idle wondering if it might be because of the fan...it works fine if you are driving but as soon as you stop at a light it stops cooling please help if you have had this problem or know how i can fix...motor only has 59k
thanks in advance for any help i tried looking for the relay but could not find it...all the fuses on the driver panel are good..unless there is other fuses i do not know about....again if you can help i appritiate it...don't want to take it to dealer as they will probably want to change the whole motor...lol....EXPENSIVE...

 

i had this very problem about a month ago! took it to the dealer after work hours while mechanics were still there and they took a crow bar and banged at the fan motor about 6 times. this seemed to loosen up some buildup(dirt/grime) and voila, the fan starting working and the car was back to cooling like a champ! give it a try and let me know!!!

 

thanks for the tip ertatta...i tried it and it worked....i think i might need to change it soon though as i saw alot of tiny metal shavings coming out of the motor... ....anyhow thanks again for the tip.....

 

glad to hear it worked out! so the AC is back to cooling?

 

yep so far so good....the only thing i have not been able to reset is the air bag light on the dash it came on several weeks ago and have not been able to reset it i tried disconecting the battery and also tried the vag.com and nothing... guess its going to have to take a trip to the stealership....
