Re: A4 Temprature Gauge Sender
Hi Guys
I'm trying to diagnose a problem on an Audi A6 1995 2.6... I hope on
of you can help
Put simply, the water (and then engine) overheats if the A/
compressor is NOT switched on.... I replaced the water tempuratur
gauge... but it has made no difference
The radiator fan just doesn't come on unless the AC is on..
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Sam

Re: A4 Temprature Gauge Sender
Most likely you need to replace the thermoswitch located on the radiator. that
switch tells the fan when to run based upon the water temperature in the radiator.
The reason the fan is running when the AC is on is because that is the normal
mode for the AC operation.
If the fan runs with AC then the thermoswitch is most likely the cause but it
could also be due to a bad relay / relays as well.
