I'm having a NIGHTMARE overheating
Arghhh bought my frst golf and can't get her through the MOT keeping hit bricks walls. I'm not a mechanic but my friend i and he says he needs to look in to it. The car is over heating and the fan isn't kicking in. Any advise?

Thermo switch on bottom of rad, bridge that to see if fan comes on.

Just noticed some of the wires have been cut, probably my answer right there. You think its worth getting a new gasket to be safe?

No point making work mate. Sort the wires which are I'm guessing to the thermo of fan motor? If it runs turn it on and look in expansion tank see if water is trickling in and also check hoses to/from rad to see if water is hot both sides. Eliminating water pump and thermostat I believe.
Thermo switch is common though.
