The Audi radiator fan sensor / switch (OEM 1J0959481A) is a used genuine part that monitors coolant temperature to control fan operation. Also known as the radiator fan switch, this component triggers the electric cooling fan when the engine reaches a set heat range. A common failure symptom is the fan failing to engage, leading to potential overheating during idle or low-speed driving. It fits a range of gas and diesel engines from 1.4L to 2.5L across Audi and Volkswagen models.
