Engine fan

[Servo]

Yea I've checked the coolant level is fine. But I spoke to the APR dealer here when I dropped my car off and the's said that car will only turn on the fan when it really needs to. Guess I haven't really driven my car hard long enough for the fan to switch on.

in recent months (summer) this has been very noticable.

we have had a few cool days recently, does not seem to come on atm.

You'll be surprised just how much heat a turbo can produce very quickly.

Even hitting boost through 2nd/3rd two or three times as you near home could potentially be enough to heat up the turbo significantly, particularly when running a tuned car seeing the turbo is running towards the pointy end of its efficiency.

I'll be in agreement with you there and even when people say that turbo timer is not needed I disagree. Every turbo needs to cool down after a run and obviously there's other means in doing this but a timer does it pretty well.

I was concerned at first about the fan not turning on until I heard it from the mouth of someone who's around VW's all day that it'll only come on if only needed. I've got the 7500km service coming up soon and give it a once over and make sure everything is ok.
