It blows the fuse on the K40 relay under the plastic cover on the left hand side of the engine bay.

The fan isnt really needed so it can be unplugged.

Hi Malcolm, Yes please could you send me the mod for this problem, and is it correct that you do not need the fan, so it can be left unpluged

Yes, you do need the fan..........MB didnt fit it just for fun!, it's fitted to stop the ecu from overheating.......... the very same reason that computers have a fan fitted to the cpu......
