Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. Have you checked your fuses yet? If the fuses doesn't work for the radiator fan, either the fan is bad or the wires are bad. You can hook a wire to the fan wires and run it to your fuse box to see if the fan is bad or it is the wire. It would at least turn the fan on to cool the engine. As for the a/c fan, same thing, check your fuses. You need a voltage meter. This way, you can test all your wires and you could pick out the bad ones, if the fuses turn out to be good. Once again, it could be the wires or the fan itself. I would say the fan is the reason you are overheating. Find the bad wire and replace it or run a second wire to the fuse box. Make sure you have correct coolant and check your hoses and clamps. It could be the coolant cap as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Fan is not coming on and car is overheating

Fan not working. Check connection under vehicle. Very common connection is bad. Are has been pulled loose from someone hanging a droplight on it while changing oil or working under PT. Run a hot wire directly to fan to check high side and low side operation. If operating and connection is good. Check temp sensor located by radiator fill cap not overflow. Has a single wire. Relay is in fuse box under hood. The fan connection can be cleaned and will work for a while. But I have found it comes loose in a short amount of time. I just cut the connector off and install aftermarket. There is a lot of over heating problems with PT.

My VW polo radiator does not come on when the engine reaches normal engine temperature i check all the fuse in the holder thy all seem to be ok, There is all so no current going to radiator fan switch...

The thing that you are bridging is called a fan relay.
you need to replace that,in the meantime you can bypass the relay by attaching the wires together.
If you need to see if the fan is working without waiting for the engine to warm up, just flip on your air conditioner which will in turn start the fan cooling system right away.

Why does the car start to over haet when i have the air conditioning on, once i turn off the ac the temperature goes back to normal

YOUR AIR CONDITIONER PUT LOAD ON ENGINE CHECK TO MAKE SURE RADIATOR COOLING FAN RUNNING BECAUSE IT HELPS TO KEEP THE ENGINE COOL AND AC CONDENSOR COOL FAN NEED TO BE RUNNING IF NOT CHECK COOLING FAN FUSE OR RELAY.

The electric fan that cools my radiator is not running.

The radiator fan should come on when car reaches normal operating temp,With engine at Idle and temp normal feel the top radiator Hose ,it should be hot,If no then Engine coolant is not moving-cause could be an "Air lock" if that is the case,turn key off until it cools then disconnect top Hose and start engine,at normal temp,you should have Engine Coolant coming out,turn key off let engine cool;reconnect and refill with a 50/50 mix;

Back to the Fan problem;the Fan should come on when engine temp is normal,if not turn the Air-Conditioner on,radiator Fan should come on at any temp;two checks ,one is the Fan Relay ,located in the under Hood main power supply box;There will be 3 or 4 relays for different systems since they are of the same part number swap and see if problem is fixed;if no check the Fuse in same power supply box;You said fans spin so they are not locked up;Take an eight dollar D.C. circuit tester,they look like an ice pick with a clamp for ground attach,to ground and with the fan plug disconnected see if you have voltage; ,You can have a continuous fan by finding a wire close to the fan that has power when the key is in the on position,take a wire and attach to that wire;

Radiator fan

You should check the 30 amp "RDI" fuse and the 7.5 ECU-IG fuse. Both fuses are critical to the operation of the fan system. The RDI fuse sends power to the fan #1 relay. The A/C amplifier turns on power to the fan #1 relay, this is why your fan works on A/C.

Now, with no cooling fan under "normal conditions" (A/C off), you need to have a good fan #2 relay, and a good water temp switch. This switch is on the engine, near the thermostat housing (I think); with a single plug, with a white with a blue trace wire going to it. Remove this wire from the sender, and jump it to ground (anywhere on the metal of the engine) with the key on (engine OFF). If the fan starts, you need a new water temp sending unit. If not, then consider a new fan #2 relay. This system is pretty simple.
