Twin cooling fans removal...

Hi,

Can someone tell me how easy (or hard) it is to remove the twin engine cooling fans assembly, I need to replace them as the 'slow' speed isnt working anymore (I know it is the fans faulty and not the fcu) Do they drop down from below, or is it a front-end strip?
Thanks

Should be able to undo the bolts and just drop the fans out in situ

many thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow at removing the fans.

Got a price from GSF of £101.28p in total for two new fans, VW quoted me well over £200!!

You were correct.... the fans easily come out from the bottom :)

Cheers
