Hi guys! This issue has had me confused for a while, I have replaced and the brown sensor and bitron/cooling fan relay and the thermo fans come on when the brown sensor is unplugs, but not at the certain temperature.  Would I be right to assume there is a broken/corroded pin and the connector behind the front bumper where it screws/connects to the thermo fan housing? - Brad ________________________________________ Proud owner of a gti6 '98 |

I tried from the top and there is very little hand room and couldn't get it. So I decided to clean the bumper while it's off. Anyway, whats the recommended plan of attack to unplug it?  ________________________________________ Proud owner of a gti6 '98 |

Grippy gloves or I usually pop a thin screwdriver in one of the slots and give it a tap. There's a tab where it's clipped in a slot. Giving that a slight pry I find can help.________________________________________  |

Tip with the screw driver worked wonders!  There was a pin that had a fair bit of oxidation, so I cleaned both connectors with contact cleaner, and I cannot tell that they had been oxidised. Hopefully that was the culprit and I shall try in the morning!  ________________________________________ Proud owner of a gti6 '98 |

Sounds like you've made some headway at least, good luck for when you try it out. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

The car hit 100 and no fans came on, manually engaged them via a switch to cool the car down and turn it off.  What could be the culprit otherwise? ________________________________________ Proud owner of a gti6 '98 |
