Hi all,
just wanted to share a problem I had tonight - interested if it happened to anyone else.
I set off for a half hour drive and 10 minutes into it, I noticed that I couldn't select songs anymore via the display behind the steering wheel. At the time I thought that it was just having problems reading the SD card, and a quick restart would solve it.
5 minutes later my start/stop stopped working, having the A with a line through it at all times. I pulled up my destination 15 minutes after this, assuming that I had parked near some building works... but nope it was my car. The fan was running faster than any fan I've heard on a car before... and it was kicking out an extraordinary amount of heat; to the point where if I had left it I would have been concerned for a fire. I turned my car on and off again and it immediately stopped and cooled down.
So just a few questions.... Has it happened to anyone else.... do you think it was an issue with the onboard computer?
Also, when I drove it back off, I thought it sounded a bit different, but I think that was probably me being paranoid that there was a problem. Do you think the issue could have caused any damage? I'm going to make the assumption that most new cars are designed to handle very high temperatures, so i'd hope not...
