Hi,
I have been on this forum for a while but this is my first post as i did a quick search and couldn't find any info
I have a 1999 S3 which i absolutely love to bits but am having a few niggles with.
The main one is that my car over heated last night for the second time since I have owned it (5 months). It happens when the car has been run up to temperature. It is always the same situation where I get stuck in traffic and the temperature keeps rising until a warning comes up to say the coolant temperature is too high. The fan does not kick in at all. I have taken it to a garage (a guy my family has used for years and owns an a3) and he could find nothing wrong and managed to get the fan to start when he used it.
Has anyone had this problem? Or any ideas about what could be wrong. The previous owner said it did it to him once and he pulled the fuse for the fan out (behind the battery) and that worked for him.
Cheers
