IT IS LOCATED ON DRIVER SIDE OF ENGINE BEHIND THE THERMOSTATE HOUSEING IT HAS TWO WIRES YELLOW AND BROWN HOPE THIS HELPS .
--------------------------------
there is a fan control relay under the dashboard with the other relays check that then check the temperature contreol module theat is located in the engine compartment
--------------- there is a 2 speed sensor/sender on the lower part of the radiator, facing the driver. It's on the tube at the end of the radiator. The fan motor has three leads, an orange, which should be hot, and is monitored by a 40 amp fuse located either on top of the battery, or with the fuse modules/relays under the dash. (according to the book, I still can't find mine, it may be NEXT to the battery. The negative must be thru the chassis, so it would be a good idea if, at temperature, with two hots going to the motor, look for a shorted ground. If one of the hots isn't, then the sensor or 40 amp is bad. After those are ruled out, it's the motor.

The electric fan switch, mounted in the radiator, supplies power to the fan (via relay) when the coolant reaches a certain temperature.

Guys i need to know my volkswagen cabriel 1.6 1992 is heating n source of fake radiator so anyone know about the real radiator to my car or size

Sorry, I service mostly Ford Brands. You may be looking at an oil cooler or A/C unit. Follow your water hoses from the engine and the small set goes to the heater coil and the big set goes to the Radiator.

Your engine should have a electric fan which helps the Radiator cool down. So the Electric fan should be around there. VW stopped making totally air-cooled engines when the early VW beetles and Vans ended.

1992 VW Cabriolet convertible power windows will not go down.

There is an easy way to determine whether this is the switch or the motor itself. Remove the door panel and locate the wiring that goes to the window motor. Disconnect the wiring harness and apply 12V to the terminals on the motor. If it moves smoothly, the problem is most likely the switch or possibly a relay. If the motor does not move with 12V applied to the terminals, then the motor itself is defective.

Vw passat code p3081 what is it? And how do i fix it thanks

p3081 is the error code for the engine not reaching correct operating temperature. It could be an issue with the thermostat or the ECT (coolant temperature sensor) valve.

As far as how to repair those items, your best bet is to purchase a repair manual. It will save a lot of time and frustration.
Good luck hope this helps.

My 92 vw cabriolet is blowing the fuel pump fuse after about 5 seconds. reckon why? replaced fuel pump - no luck. cant find the proper location of the fuel pump relay. manual says (12) lower right hand...

Disconnect the oxygen sensor and drive happily ever after... The oxygen sensors are powered on the same fuse as the fuel pumps. If one of the oxygen sensor wires gets grounded to say the exhaust pipe = blown fuse. Sometimes immediately sometimes after a few miles and sometimes takes about 5 seconds.

1992 VW cabriolet, cooling fan will not shut off

Either it shouldn't because of temp or the relay is stuck. Have someone locate the relay and tap it. Then replace. If tapping it doesn't work, the relay is a plug in so just pull it out and plug a new one in. Good Luck it as soon as you can.

I have a 1992 VW Cabriolet about 3 000 rpm it

The vibration at that high rpm is most likely coming from the torque convertor and if a manual transmission , then clutch issues.
