If it is dead and has been driven like this is that a problem?
it seems very hot but the 2nd fan isnt kicking in

No temperature on gauge (dead sensor)?

Whats it reading on the hvac ?? Mine displays 30 every now and then when it drops off and also reads 30'c from cold so presuming its the sensor.
No a/c control if you press recirc and the up button for vent distribution then go to 49 then press recirc it will give you the actual temperature in digits.

saw those. and some febi ones.
TBH I do not want this to turn into a money pit
if the sensor was goosed why would it run hot?
I assumed it would run cool if anything as I expected the fan to be on permanently.
Also done a full scan in VAG and no code for ECT sensor....strange?

No code here niether aslong as the stat is working and the viscous fan is running id say your ok the electric fan is there as a back up and when the A/C is switched on iirc

Sensor for the fan is totally unrelated to the sensor for the dash.
The CTS on the back of the head supplies a signal for the guage and a signal for the ECU. If this is faulty you'll have **** economy and probably dodgy emissions as it'll run rich all the time.
The electric fan is controlled by a 4 pin sensor in the bottom radiator hose, and/or the Aircon controller. The viscous fan should run all the time. If you switch the AC on and the electric fan doesnt start then its faulty/broken/unplugged/blown its fuse...
Is this the TQS your on about, or something else?

Facelift or Prefacelift?
Facelift runs the AC all the time unless its below 5c or you press the ECON button.
Prefacelift has a "frost" symbol on the climate unit to turn on the AC.
