clifton 0 Posted January 21, 2007 my cars keeps overheating every time it gets hot and smoke/steam comes out, and the fan seems to cut in quite late, but also might sound very stupid but should the fan be infront or behind the radiator, and only one fan comes on and it seems to be blowing away from the car but i cant really tell! can someone please help me resolve these problems! ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted January 22, 2007 As standard there is only one fan fitted to the GTi & it should blow through the radiator when its on(fitted infront of the radiatior). Have you recently drained the cooling system & if so did you bleed the system when you refilled it? Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
