Radiator fan failure
Hi:
I have a 01 Jetta 1.8t. The small fan spins but the big one does not. Can I assume that the big fan has failed and replace it or do I need to look deeper. Any help? Thanks, Don Shank

Radiator fan failure
Madesio,
Thanks for your suggestion. Tapping the motor caused it to spin, but not with any real force. Now what do you think.
