MK 8.5 fan question
« on: 04 August 2025, 14:43 »
Guys

I went to look at a my 8.5 yesterday.

Every time I started it up the heater fan came on at nearly full blast.

I turned it down to 1, but when I switched the car off and re started it again the fan again was running almost flat out

This doesn’t seem right. Can it be adjusted so that it only comes on low when the car is started up?

Thanks!

Was it in AUTO mode? If so, it can do that initially until the chosen temp is reached, I never have mine set to auto for that reason.
