#1: Overheating Problem 206 GTI 2.0 16v Author: Lizard2010, Location: Adelaide South AustraliaPosted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:16 am ---- I have has a diagnosed problem today with my car.
It seems the temp sender is not giving the correct temp.
It does not go up much
But the Oils Temperature does
No Error Codes come up
Plus the Fan works intermittently, It does work
It seems that the Fan Speed Resistor works intermittently.
Any Part Nos If Possible
In particular the Fan Speed Resistor
For a Vin No is VF32CRFNF41973195
Thanks in Advance.

#3: Re: Overheating Problem 206 GTI 2.0 16v Author: Lizard2010, Location: Adelaide South AustraliaPosted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 12:03 pm ---- Yes it does have water in it and oil too
I will take it to a Auto Electrician to see if he can source the parts.

Put your hand on the large hose that goes to the top of the radiator.
After a few minutes it should suddenly get very hot - to hot to keep your hand on it.
If it slowly gets warm then it is nothing to do with temp sensor or gauge but your thermostat is stuck open.

Yes but the Oil Temperature gets Hot 100.
When stationary then cools down.
When driving, the water temp only goes up slowly.
The fan does not cut in
Mechanic says there is a problem.
But what exactly is the issue.
#6: Re: Overheating Problem 206 GTI 2.0 16v Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:32 pm ---- Oil usually takes a long time to get hot if stationary but gets hot when driven hard and then temp drops if stationary for a long time.
Water usually gets hot quickly while driving then stays static when moving (unless stop / start town or traffic jam when it will get hot) and gets hot when stationary.
If you have had a mechanic look at it ask him. Remote diagnosis it many times harder than for someone who has had their hands on the car.

Update
This is in a car with A/C
Different without A/C
With the help of my son, i advise the following.
Check all the fuses to do with the fan and temperature sender.
This Link gives more details.

When the fan is turning slowly the resistor will be hot. When the fan turns fast I would expect the resistor to cool down.
Now someone may contradict this because it I can't check it on an AC car but it is what I expect should happen.
