The part number depends on the make of fan currently fitted, you can't mix and match.  Siemens and Temic are the two makes given in the parts cat.

Fan on AXX engine

1K0 959 455 ET -Siemens (200W/295mm Right).  
1K0 959 455 CR -Temic.

1K0 959 455 Dt is 300W/360mm left Siemens
1K0 959 455 CQ is 300W/360mm left  Temic

1K0 121 207 BB 9B9 is the actual Cowl.

All the above is not cheap, comes to around £360, 60 for the shroud and 160/140 for the fans.

Hi all

First post but i have been a lurker for a long while

Thought i would share something from my SEAT days

On my LCR, i had exactly the same issue with the fan resistors burned and the fan running flat out

I used this mod to fix the issue without having to replace the fans

I know its a bit of a fiddle and involves some mechanical know how and cutting of wires but its a cheap fix

Not sure if it's applicable on a MK5 but any info is a help

Well I finally got round to sending the car to my Indy. After diagnostics showed a faulty temp sender, new one was ordered. The odl one was reading randomly and causing the fan to come as a precaution.

£130 (all in) later and so far so good. :happy2:
