Low speed cooling fan fault

arge · Sep 11, 2008

Right, i have identified my recently purchased LCR has this fault with the low speed fans not running with the a/c on. [:@]

I Will be fitting the new fan/fans myself but have a few questions... :help:

Do both fans need to be replaced (one small one large on my LCR) ?

Does anyone know the part numbers and prices for the fan/fans ?

If the origanal seat fans are stupidly expensive...

Has anyone tried German French Swedish (GFS) as they list a cooling fan on their website ? https://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/ (search Leon then under Cooling, Part number 93645B Bottom of the list)

The fan assembly is both the fans together.
I'm going to have to do this too but not gotten round to finding out the finer details you are looking for yet.
Try signing up to www.vagcat.com, you will get the standard OEM parts numbers off of this

No don't go out and replace any fans. A new unit costs £250+
It will be a common electrical fault which you can fix for about £80. (Nime box)

Have a read of this as it includes a guide etc...

Isn't the Nime box causing people problems with sensors though?

I don't think everyone has the issue although I've not used one myself. There could be a different version now. Just giving an alternative to paying for a new fan unit that will burn out again no doubt in time.

I had the nime box fitted and it did give me problems.
When I have the money I will be fitting new fans.
At least with new fans you'll get ones year warranty with them
Nime box is very very good and they will give you a refund if it causes problems so also worth a punt with no money loss if it doesn't work out.

I am also reluctant to us this method as i have heard about it causing problems.

so anyone tried the GFS fans ?

bump

Or know the price of a replacement fans unit ?

Can't find the part number, don't you have a Seat dealership close to you?
Why not just phone one up if not?

holy thread resurection batman !

So never got round to fitting the fans, just limited the use of the aircon to a minimum, yeh lazy i know !

My radiator has just gone though so will be fitting a new one this week and it seems silly to not do the fans at the same time.

So, can anyone help with the fans part numbers ?

Thanks guys

why are you wasting your money on new fans?the nime box was upgraded to stop it interferring with the leon's systems-ie lights on dash
