I have an 2000 A4. 1.8t that needs the electric radiator fan replaced. I have looked for DIY on this but couldn't find any. Would appreciate any help.

 

look at a timing belt diy to get the front of the car into service position. the rad fan shouldn't take much more to get out.

 

It should be very simple.. Find any of the DIY's for removing the front bumper and loosening the lock carrier. From there, it should just be a couple bolts supporting the fan and an electrical connector IIRC.

 

I think you can do this without putting the car into "service position". There is a single screw in the top. At the bottom there is a latch that you pull back on. Then rotate the whole thing to clockwise when viewed from the front of the car. You can then pull it out of the lock carrier.

The most difficult part of this is going to be fishing the wires out of the bundle on the carrier.

 

I think it's the big red connector for the a/c fan.
