Gates FCM112 is listed for 1998-1999 Volkswagen Beetle and 1999 Volkswagen Jetta models equipped with a 14-pin connector.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Cooling fans that run at the wrong speed
- Fans that do not respond correctly to temperature changes
- Engine temperature fluctuations caused by faulty fan control
- Electrical control issues in the cooling fan circuit
- Overworked fan operation that increases electrical load
Installation Notes
Verify connector count, pin configuration, and housing dimensions before installation. This module uses 2 female connectors and does not include a harness, so inspect the vehicle-side wiring and terminals for damage or corrosion before replacement.
