the fan has a thermostat that is set to the manufactures specs. They usually set them pretty low, because of the increase in the use of aluminimun head. If they get to hot they can be warped. hope it helps. duboff I have the same problem - thermostat doesn't open and fans don't come on until temp gauge is at or lose to the L in normal (just before over-heating). What was the solution to this problem?
the normal running engine temperature on the passat is 195 degrees , most of the time the primary cooling fan gives out and they run somewhat warmer than that.a belt connects the primary and secondary cooling fans ! you may check the belt if your passat is running warm.

Normal Running temp is 200 degees.
The Normal running temp is 180 - 190
160 to 185 degrees F is normal running temperature.
by cooling it below normal temperature.
this sounds like a bad thing to me...like the reservoir and/or the cooling system, has no antifreeze in it and heat from the engine is exiting through the cooling system. Does your temperature gauge read in the normal range? Is the car running OK? FriPilot
The radiator cooling fan will run to cool the radiator to below the fan turn on temperature. You may want to have your cooling system checked if it happens regularly as your Buick may be running hotter than normal when driving.
The fans normally come on when needed. Is the car running hot -- is the temperature gauge reading above normal? If so, there's a problem with the fans or the cooling system. If not, don't worry about it.
Engine temperature rising when the engine is idling is normal. The car is sitting still and no air is entering the engine compartment. This will cause the engine temperature to rise. The cooling fans then come on and the engine returns to a normal temperature. Unless the cooling fans do not bring the temperature down, you have no problems and this is totally normal.
Standard running temperature is 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
Normal operating Temp is about 87C
