Hi Everyone
Hope you're all well!
I need some help. I am trying to source a part and am having huge difficulty. My warranty company will not cover the repair therefore I need to source the part myself and then my local garage will do the work for me.
The part number is 1K0998455. Which is a double fan assembly unit thingy (words of the garage!). I have tried all the online parts websites etc and they are all saying that you only get genuine Audi or VW parts which needs to be from a dealer - which is really expensive.
Does anyone know anywhere else I can get the part from? Genuine ideally.
Basically my car has come up with this error:
18354 Control Module 1 for coolant fan Defective P1946 No signal / No communication intermittent
So we think by getting that part, the problem will be resolved.
Any help will be muchly appreciated!! :-)
Car details:
53 Plate, A3 2.0 FSi Sport. 6 Speed Manual, Petrol.
Chassis number though: WAUZZZ8P44A072786.
I was told it is the sensor that has had it. The car basically sounds like its a plane about to take off! The fans are always on, even when it is cold at night, so I havent been driving it. The code is what came out of the diagnostics test.
Hope you're all well!
