Hi all, I am hoping someone here can help me out.
I have a 2004 VW Jetta 2.0L that is having some issues. When I am driving the temp gauge stays right at 190 as long as I'm moving, but when I come to a stop for a minute the temp will slowly start creeping up. When I start rolling again the temp will come back down to 190 and stay there.
Here's what I think I know. From what I've read here chances are it is not the water pump since the temp is stable while moving. I checked the fuses on the top of the battery and nothing appears to be melted or blown. If I turn the ignition switch on without the motor running and turn on the AC, both fans on the radiator come on.
I've been reading and reading and I think it might be the Fan Control Module or the Relay. Here's when I show my ignorance. Are the Fan Control Module and the Relay two different things? They seem to be used interchangeably on all the forums I read.
Any idea where I should go from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am definitely not a mechanic but can't really drop the cash to take the car to the dealership right now.
Thanks folks
