Did it stop yet? I was very worried the first time this happened on my first Audi. The thermo' controlled fan sometimes didn't even come on until I was walking away from the car. But completely normal. But also haven't experienced same in my MCS (Virginia)
It ran for about 1/2 hour when I was in wal-mart this afternoon and didn't stop when I drove it home. I let it go for another 1/2 hour in my garage before I disconnected the battery. Even with a totally cold motor, the fan comes on as soon as I reconnect the battery I guess a trip to the dealer will be in order...
Happened to my car a few weeks ago, i switched the vehicle of then about 1 minute later the fan came on and stayed on for about 3 minutes then it switched of. Rang my dealer and he said this is normal if the motor is hot.
