I've got an A6 avant with the 115 PD engine (AJM) and the temperature gauge is showing it is running at about 80 degrees instead of the normal 90. The oil temp gauge also is showing about 75-80.
The car seems to warm up fine but when I did a service the other day I noticed that the main engine fan comes on when the car is started and stays on.
Is this right because I thought it was clutched to come on at a certain temperature.
Also, on a different topic the car has been serviced at a local garage for 40,000 miles until recently I found it had been using Magnatec oil in it, which is very inferior to the 505.01 it says in the book. I'm told that this may be damaging to the camshaft and lifters. Has anyone experienced a failure because of this?
Thanks
Will
