Re: [Mk2] [NA] Fan light on and car overheats in traffic

So coolant is fine no air in system the rad fan doesn't seem to come on at any point and light comes on when temp just gets above halfway. Could it be the cooling fan ecu is faulty for a quick fix I wired fan up to fog lights so will manual control it if its gets hot

[Mk2] [NA] Fan light on and car overheats in traffic

When driving car is fine temp is normal but if it in traffic or a lot of stop starting driving it starts to overheat and engine fan light comes on is this an engine fan fault or rad fan fault just pulled plug on fan switch and rad fans came on so changed fan switch but no change there
