Hello. I have a 2004 A3 2.0 td and has developed a fault with one of the cooling fans. Basically since yesterday one of the fans next to the rad is on constantly which had caused me to have a flat battery. I have called out the RAC today who have tried several methods to turn off the fan but without success. Apparently there is no relay for the fan.
The RAC guy mentioned a fault with the Body control console which means nothing to me. Only to say that when I opened my passenger side door the fan swithed off then back on again. Some months ago I had a new dash as the old one had developed a fault. Could this be connected?

Can this be replaced diy or is it a dreaded trip to main dealer?
Any other possible faults / remedies?
Thanks
