    The fan is controlled by a switch in the radiator, independant on the temp sender. sound like that has gone faulty. common problem on MK1's not sure about yours.

    The car does have A/C I have disconnected it and the cooling fans seem to be ok. I will need an auto electrcian to have a look at the relays etc to find the fault ? Any ideas ? Do you know where the switch is ? Thanks P.S. at this stage is does not appear to be the temp sendor

    Just had the same problem on the girlfriends MKIII GTI. Fan running all the time. Changed the switch in the rad (R/H side). £9 from local vw specialist. You'll need a 29mm socket.
    Hope this helps
