I'm pretty sure my fan is dead as I never hear it and car goes into red when stood .nun traffic, pretty quick.
Any tips on what to check before I invest in a new one?

Check the fuse in the engine compartment fuse box, its fuse No7 - bottom right as you look in the fuse box its a 20 amp.
Mine had blown so checked the fan assembly by taking off the black upper grille between the headlamps to find the motor had seized solid!
I haven't renewed as yet as i have my engine in bits but there are various types.
Are you doing the job yourself?

Get your self a workshop manual. It might plug in above the fan near the slam pannel.

Where do you think a 206 radiator cooling fan is going to be?
Its going to be attached to the radiator, try looking through the grill, you will find what your looking for.

I did and I couldn't see it, upon further investigation the fan seems to be located in a roundish plastic moulding behind the bulk head.

I seem to have two radiators?
A bigger one at front and a newer looking smaller one behind it,
Do gti's have oil cooler's or is it more likely that it just has a newer radiator bolted to the old one?
I apologise for being automotively thick.
