So, without further ado....
When John's car was prepped to be lifted, the fans on his car didn't run/start. Then after installing the Sportec cooling mod with John (Audi5000cstq) this weekend, I noted that John's car had the fans running, with about a 3 hour cool down, from start up. Then once he shut down, the fans ran for about 10 seconds and then off.
I have had my car for about 9 weeks now and can't remember, if ever, the fans coming on after shutting down. Not to say it has been overly hot but last week it was upper 80's...
I had a POST purchase inspection, just to see if there was something (DRC leaks, codes) to be warned about. They also ran a diagnostic scan on the computer (checking for codes) and nothing came up.
So now I am concerned...
It might simple as the wiring connection is dirty or loose or disconnected...
Thoughts, suggestions?
