Tomo123 T Hi all on the forum, have just bought a mint deep blue Mk5 R32 with genuine 20k on the clock. Fab and beautiful car. Will stay for a long time ! Have noticed that when the air con as is on, the engine fan or one of the cooling fans (assume it is a cooling fan) comes on pretty much all the time. Is this normal ? Wouldn't say this is annoying, but you can definitely here the fan going from inside the car, not mega intrusive but a little annoying and I have never had a car do this before. It is definitely linked to the air con as when you turn off the air con the fan whirring noise shuts down slowly after about 10 seconds and all is silent. Any views advice welcome ?

They should only be at SLOW speed mind. #3 · Sep 10, 2011 Cooling fan should run slowly when air con is on so what you describe is normal but I can't say I could ever hear it from in the cabin #4 · Sep 10, 2011 Mines also really loud and comes on 95% of the time when driving through town.
