Wondering if anyone can help me, i have faulty radiator fans (dont turn on at all) on my 2004 golf mk5 with BAG engine code, would this be the same problem as the video suggests? if so it looks difficult to remove the fans as a lot of things have to come off to access the fans in the first place, any advice would be appreciated!
I was looking for details for a rad fan assembly for my 2006 Jetta TDI when I ran across your video. After watching it I decided to give it a go. It took me about 3 hours, it was just like you described. One of the brushes was stuck. I cleaned it up and put it back together. VOILA….!!!! Working like a champ. $600.00 saved. That was the quote.
After watching this video I decided to try the following. I opened the hood and gently tapped the fan with the flat side of a wrench. That was apparently enough force to unbid the brush because it started spinning. I was in and out in 60 seconds.
I have "repaired" this brush 3 times now on our Golf 5 and I am getting faster. I gave all the clamps some hits with a metallplate, the cover was then lifted smoothly by a screw driver from the bottom and fixed by the clamps again when reassembling, without destroying anything. The motors are Siemens VDO. Stupid fault and costly when repaired by the garage.

will the brushes sticking like that make the fan continue to run intermittedly while car has been sitting?
Brushes like this could cause the fan to be intermittent. VW changed the part number on replacements fan motors = design fault
How did u put the fan motor cover back to place
good vid.. but yes how did you re fit the cover?

The fan cover can not be re-attached which is ridiculous for a $300 motor!
