Hi All,

I am a newbie to all this but would appreciate some advice.

I have an A4 1.8T on a 02 plate. the ecu light is on and remains on permanantly and every time i start the car from cold the fans start up and run for about 3/4 mins. when the engine temp reaches 90 (which is where it sits all the time) the fans stop?? the fault was cleared when it was serviced in Jan 2010 but they offered no reason as to why. The engine blows hot air and cool air so i don't think it is anything that serious!1
I would be greatful for any assistance.....:confused:

Thx for that, it was read at the last service, haven't got the sheet which detailed the fault code and they couldn't suggest what it was. I Was just wondering if any body has had the same problem and could suggest a poss cure rather that taking it back to dealer.

Looks like I will have to get it read....
