Hi Audi Fans,

I have an 1989 Audi 500 SE. The radiator was re-cored a few days ago. Now the fan
runs when first switched on and goes off when warm. obviously something is reversed. But where do I find the thermostat please?

Thank you,

surgeon.:confused:
I am very surprised that I have not attempted reply. Does anyone know where the radiator fan thermostatic switch situated PLEASE?

Hi,

it's a really quiet forum, most of this model are long gone in the UK!

The switch for the fan should be on the radiator, they usually are? If same as the rest it will have 3 connections in a row. There is usually a low speed setting which comes on first followed by a high speed setting when it gets really hot. You should be able to simulate switch operation, by bridging the contacts in the connector plug? If not it may be a relay issue?

try browsing 'vagcat', it is free to register, there are drawings accompanying parts listings, the Audi 100 uk model is equivalent to yours
