OK, so a bit over the top but used the A/C for the first time since owning the car today and when I pulled onto the drive the fan was spinning like mad - sounded like a jet engine - even the neighbour commented.
Is it normal for the main fan to come on with the A/C ?
thanks

quite a common fault with our cars, mine started sounding like a jet engine about 6 months after I bought it, normally occurred when sat in traffic after a spirited drive or had the air con on,
took it to the stealers and turned out the small fan was not working so the large fan was coming on all the time to compensate, they replaced both fans under warranty and has been alot quieter since

Common on the Mk5 2.0Tdi Too. Usually sorted through warranty :wink:

Thanks Gtijames for the useful info ...
Just checked it after a run and no sign of the small fan running, large ones making hell of a noise though. I'm calling in the dealers next week to get it checked, sounds like the fault you mention to me

Just called in the dealer & it is the "common fault" - small fan isn't working, should be sorted this week.
I thought this only affected earlier models but mine is a 58 plate

Mine did this yesturday, had no air con on and went for a long thrash.. when i pullled up the fans where going mental!!... Although i would of thought while driving there should be enough air over the radiator to cool things down?

After reading this, it seams like I have the same problem. So I am all booked in for Friday morning to get it looked at, and they are taking a look at why there is a horrible smell coming from the vents when the AC is off.
All under my extended warranty, gotta love that.
