Fan running Constantly

**rwavant** · 05-06-2012,06:08 PM

I recently had water in my engine which shorted out the relays , my battery was drained and not that it is charged and back in as soon as it is connected the fan starts running.
Has anyone any experience of this or coudl it be a faulty temperature sensor ?

What engine?I thought the fan does run but the coupling isnt locked and it can easily be stopped until the temp has risen

The engine is 1.9 TDI Quatto in a B6 Avant - 2004

Thanks
Will do later when home, but the Fan is starting as soon as i connect the Battery , without even the ignition being turned would this have any effect ?

No doesn't that sound right AC will have no effect without the ignition on. Sounds like you have a faulty fan switch or a short circuit somewhere.
