Fault Code p1296
#3
P1296 / Audi #17704 = Engine Cooling System Malfunction. This is usually due to a thermostat that is stuck open or opens too soon. The DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) sets when the ECM (Engine Control Module) does not see 80 degrees Celsius (176 f) or greater within the first 16 minuets of operation. Basically it means the car is not getting hot enough, soon enough.
