ok well ive ordered one of these

will let ya all know how i get on after ive fitted it!
yea 350 notes that you could be forking out again in another few years when ya new fans go again ! lol.. hopefully this fix will be more permanent..and its gota be a more efficient way off controling fan speed than running it through a resistor to slow it down
ouch .. and it has bin hot 2day too!..yea eventually the stop starting of the fans on highspeed will make the fuse heat up i beleive.. due to the high start up currents.. id definately keep an eye on the fuse box on top of the battery for any signs of overheating!
yea thats the site ive seen before!.. just read it again.. now i wasnt keen on the external resistor fix but it seems someone has now come up with a better solution

this seems like a good fix...looks fairly easy and damm site cheaper.. and hopefully more permanant than even if you replace the fans coz they dont seem to last long!
im guessin it would also fit the leons?..im considering doin this instead lookin at at!

The link in post 36 of this thread includes quite a lot of discussion about this unit, if anyone else is interested. Tamer initially designed it for his own Golf, MK 4 (incidentally he didn't use his air con between the fan failure and it being fitted as he was worried that it would damage the fans completely...).
He's since sold 7 units and so far we've only heard good things about it (mainly in the link mentioned above!). Very pleased that it's helping other people to avoid paying the repair fees that are being quoted.
Take care
