Hi All,
My friend has recently bought a second hand golf from a non main dealer ( I say recently, it was about 5 months ago)
Its a 58 plate, 66,000 on the clock.
The fan keeps staying on when she is driving and is really loud, the garage have said its a wiring fault but havent given her a price yet and still have the car.
How much is she looking at shelling out for this? She just wants to prepare herself!

How longs a piece of string? What is the garage's labour rates £20 an hour or £120 an hour?
Could be a 5 minute job with an 1/2 hour bill or many hours tracing the wiring loom back to find the fault.
Do they have the aircon on when it happens? Heater set to screen or demist?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
Is the a/c on? While it may be a faulty sensor keeping the fan on, some cars automatically kick in the fan when the a/c is operational.0
