The Volkswagen Cabrio cooling fan, or sometimes called the radiator fan, can be located on either side of the radiator and may either be operated by an electric motor or a fan clutch that is driven by the water pump belt. If you notice that your Volkswagen Cabrio begins to overheat in traffic you may need a cooling fan switch or a cooling fan clutch.
The Volkswagen Cabrio cooling system is made of aluminum components and requires a Phosphate free coolant. DO NOT PUT an over the counter antifreeze in your Volkswagen Cabrio, as it will ruin the radiator and water pump.
When replacing the Volkswagen Cabrio heater hose or coolant hoses, make sure you use oem or genuine quality replacements as most Volkswagen Cabrio heater and coolant hoses are preformed and aftermarket hoses will not work.
The Volkswagen Cabrio coolant level sensor is located in the coolant recovery tank, and is an electronic sensor that notifies the driver in the case that the coolant level drops below the minimum level. If the light on the dash comes on notifying you that the Volkswagen Cabrio coolant level is low, and the coolant is actually topped off, you have a failed coolant level sensor.
Volkswagen Cabrio coolant recovery tanks are made of plastic and do crack and wear out. All of our Volkswagen Cabrio coolant overflow tanks are OEM and Genuine parts that are exactly the same as you would get at the Volkswagen dealer.

The upper Volkswagen Cabrio radiator hose fails more often than any other hose, followed by the Volkswagen Cabrio water pump bypass hose and the outlet heater hose from the engine to the heater core.
The Volkswagen Cabrio thermal radiator fan switch is usually located in the radiator or the engine block and has 2 or 3 wires coming from the unit. The 3 wire switch has a dual sensor for dual speed radiator fans. The Volkswagen Cabrio thermo fan switches come in the factory temperature settings and also come in cooler thermostatic settings so the fan will come on at a lower coolant temp.
