License Plate Lights and Radiator Fan Issues

Post by Shikeira »

I own a 1986 Scirocco 16V (first car) and have had some problems lately with the license plate light and the radiator fan. One of my license plate lights are out and wanted to know if this would replace it: https://www.vwheritage.com/481943021a-n ... irocco-mk2 and does VW Heritage ship to the U.S? My other concern is after I shut the car off, the radiator fans keep running and then shutoff after about 10 seconds. Should I worry about this?

Thanks!

The fan is meant to do that so don't worry.

Normal for the fan to run if the car is not.

Licence plate lights were made by Hella, Mk1 golf ones are similar and will fit but do have a black surround.

I'm sure vw heritage will deliver to the US.

Or there is Werks34 based in Germany.
