VW/AUDI ENGINE/ RADIATOR COOLING FAN & CONTROL MODULE
Be aware that a VW Polo 9N and 6R have different fans, an Audi A3 and a Q7 have different fans, a Skoda Fabia and a Roomster have different fans, a Seat Ibiza and a Seat Leon have different fans and the same and the same goes for Passat, Golf, Beetle, Tiguan, Touran, Fox, Transporter, Jetta, etc... Having said all that, suffice to say that all these fans are troublesome, they burn out, the fins disingrates, they go open circuit and I've even known a few to go short circuit and blow its 30 amp fuse.

The radiator is an integral part of each and every VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat vehicle. Its main objective is to keep the engine oil cool which in turn keeps all the moving parts of the engine cool. Most cars have a radiator fan with a separate fan for the air conditioner however, VAG vehicles have an integrated Radiator and Condenser Fan Assembly, as can be seen in the image below. Be that as it may, it is not a one size fits all situation. Virtually every VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda vehicle category has a slightly different fan which is very evident when looking at the different three character alphanumeric prefix and the alpha suffix in their part numbers. View the list below to see what I mean.

However, in order to avoid future problems, it is highly recommenced by the fan manufactures that the controller module should be replaced together with correct fan. The list below are just a few of the radiator controller modules / relays that support the glut of VAG fans. These relays are VIN specific, so please verify existing part number with the supplied part for correctness. These contollers are manufactured in Hungary, Brazil, and Germany.

As mentioned earlier, the fans and controllers are troublesome but the German manufactured version is a lot better and thus last much longer but it is also pricier. Notice that the main part number on both the above images are the same except for its prefix. The real difference is that the top module has 14 contacts on its right side connector whereas the middle module has only 10 and the bottom module has only 6. The 2 images below gives you good idea of the variations in modules. The final image shows how these modules burn.
