"sabai dee" asks....
I have the same fault on my 2004 A3. Can you let me know if you got it
sorted and how much please?
---- my response ----
This was in regards to the engine's fan starting at odd times while the engine was off. The fan would run continously until the battery went flat. This was caused by the sensor!
The sensor is built into the fan unit. The fan unit sits clamped behind the radiator unit. It was this plastic fan unit which was replaced as the sensor is built in and is non repairable (so they say). All fixed now it never starts at odd times. Audi has replaced the unit for 450 pounds including time and labour. Had this done by M25 Watford. It was strange as some dealers wanted 2k for the job!
