Fan control unit needed

[mase]

Hey all,

I have just bought a 2001 Ibiza Cupra from a friend who has had it sat for 18 months because of the birth of his first baby (pics soon!). I have been 'blessed' with many common faults whilst preparing it for the road again and now need a fan control unit, part number: 1j0 919 506 g. VW want £95 plus VAT

Any pointers towards a cheaper supplier would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

hello welcome.....see your not far from me and my cupra r came from basinstoke lol, yes try looking on ebay for breaking cupras im going to get some bits from one this week if you want me to look out for u?

Hi Dan, thanks for the warm welcome and not ignoring the dumb newbie!

I'll scope out ebay for one but if you wouldn't mind looking out for one when you go later this week that would be sweet.

Do you use any of the local tuning company's by any chance? Heard mixed views about Autobarn and Storm developments, although the Phirm are aparently very good!

i do all my work my self an have always done it but when it comes to remap im taking mine to custom code as i want it all custom and there really good, i do use se autos in guildford the matey that owns it has had a few cupras and he currently owns a caddy mk1 20vt turbo lol, but im not sure about all them above, the only one was the phrim but i had mixed reviews about. if you need any help im only round the corner from you any ways

 

[danielc16]

check the end letter as its dif?

 

[paul-murphys]

will have to email them and see if works or have the one with correct letter at end of part number,

worth a try i guess

 

[mase]

Thanks Paul, i'll get onto them straight away and ask the significance of the end letter. I'm tempted to take it apart and see if there is anything obvious e.g. burnt out contacts - if i have any joy i'll post a thread about it.

Dan, Thanks for the offer of help or though you may live to regret it
likewise mate, if I can be of any help i'll do my best.

I'll let you know how i get on!!

ok... so having telephoned several 2nd hand parts places and visited 2 large breakers i have given in and ordered the unit from VW... turns out finding a unit with a G on the end of the part number is harder than i thought so i am now £112 worse off, altough fingers crossed the cupra wont over heat again???????

 

[danielc16]

didnt u find any breaking cupras??

 

[mase]

Nah mate, nothing that i wouldn't have to travel a million miles for! I'm just so keen to get behind the wheel of the thing that i've given in and put it on the credit card! It's supposed to 240 bhp

I had an early seat ibiza with a 1.5 system porsche engine that i bought off my dad but it was wank which put me off Seat's for ages. When i test drove the cupra i've bought it went like a ******* so i was converted back and hence i want to drive it again without fear of cooking it (plus i want it to pass the MOT!)

Do you go to no rice at all?

 

[danielc16]

yea i used to go but i lost track off when and where it is!! do you think your car will be ready by the 28th??

 

[mase]

If the relay unit solves my overheating issue tomorrow when it's back on the MOT ramp then she'll be ready i.e. taxed and insured by Friday (24/9/10). Why do you ask?

 

[danielc16]

VAG nite ace cafe i know anouther feew cupras coming if ya wana come along??

 

[mase]

Unfortunately i working that night otherwise i would've definately been up for it. Maybe next month if my shifts allow?
