Following on my temperature issues thread, I checked my fans out last night..

The fan to the right (cambelt side) was spinning no problem however the fan on the gearbox side was dead, had the aircon running and nothing was happening - which is which? Should they both be spinning up?

Best place to start diagnosing? Can you test them using vcds?

Thanks
 
With air con on both fans should be spinning. Check those green fuses in that little box onto of your battery. Fan motor itself could be shot.

Cheers, thanks for the clarification, I checked the fuses and they seem fine so maybe it is a simple case of the motor being dead. Hoping to get a bit more time on it tonight to investigate.
