Fans are known to be crap on these cars. Its a VW fault - some internal resistor fails that can't be replaced. There is some stuff on here (you'll need to search) that redirects to UK-MKIVS.NET for a guid on building a fix for it.
If the fans work only on high speed then check out:

If they don't work at all you need to look at the fan controller, temp sensor and fan switch. Not sure what temp the fans will kick in tho. I'm sure a quick search will tell you

yeah my radiator fans...they used to come on when the needle went just over 90...now the needle just keeps going...ive let it go up to 100 and still no fan :-(
If the fans don't even come on with aircon then the supply of power is either broken or both fans are completely dead.
If the fans do come on with aircon but don't come on with high engine temps then its more likely a sensor.
But then theres the fan control unit, I have no idea what this does. I guess if this is dead the fans won't work either.

i might see if i can junk the standard fans then and mount some spal fans in their place.
should move more air as well.

spal fans?...what are these?
isnt the issue here the electronics rather than the actual fans though?
Check the fuses. I think they are on top of the battery on the Leon (if it's the same as the Ibiza). Otherwise it's a case of jacking the car up and putting power to them directly to check if they are working. If they do work then look at the fan controller.
I had 1 fan fail (it'd basically melted the fan housing) and caused the other not to run. The fans not working in turn caused the aircon pump to seize and shear the fail safe pulley on the pump. I replaced the fan (try Murrays for parts http://www.murraysdirect.co.uk/ ) and then changed the pulley and all has been fine since. Touch wood

Ive had a look and it has blown a fuse, its the 40amp one...what does that mean? sorry for sounding thick lol
Mine blew a fuse i replaced it, but it also burnt the "holder" i had to get anew one from seremotors.
Is the 40 amp the "solid" fuse or the spade one can't remember?
