Procedure 83-544 explains which switch and how to test. Are you using the AC now? Shouldn't be a concern unless ambient temps are pretty high. I suspect your thermostat. Another common problem is leaves and dirt collect between the front fan shroud (lower part) and the front of the condenser,

2006 in the subject line. A VW of that vintage wouldn't have DEF which doesn't have anything to do with the fuel system anyway. I do think if they ran it for any amount of time on gas the lift pump has probably croaked. If it's electric it's probably relatively easy to replace. Apply power

because the problem is not the thermostat.  On this one, the radiator is blocked by a shroud, except for where the 2 fans are.  I'm guessing that is to keep bugs out of the radiator.   So without the fans running, it runs too hot.  when the fans run it is fine.   Larry put a new thermostat in
