As Trikey says that usually means low speed failure, or in the case of a 3 speed fan low and medium speed failure, which you should repair immediately. This will involve removing the front bumper.

1. Start the engine from cold.
2. Press the windscreen demist button.
3. Get out of the car and walk to the radiator grille.
4. Is the radiator fan running continuously or is it pulsing on and off periodically?

Please report back asap.

Hi Simon, thanks for the info!

Yes I have my 1.8t but a friend who is new to discover these great cars got himself a lovely Wedgewood 2.5 auto with Neptune leather.

Just ironing out some foibles and bits, as I have never really touched the V6s before.

Having done a little research and what Trikey says, I have advised he needs to go for the uprated fan which is available on ebay from 75ztspecialist?

Thanks for the advice
