What I have noticed :



The "Auto Scan" readout above was done about 1 minute after an engine cold startup. Not sure the "Coolant temperature: 77 °C" is supposed to be this high (1 minute after startup).



The gas cap retainer chord has been broken for years. VCDS registers this as a fault, not a problem for me.



Orange Engine dash light came ON for the first time 5 days ago. The same fault code has since been reset 3 times, after each drive. The car seems to drive OK with the Engine light ON, however the radiator 2 fans are running at max.



Bought this car new in 2014. Not sure is this is related, but for the past 2 years or so, every cold start (we're in Miami where morning "cold" start temp is generally 76 - 82 degrees F) takes the tachometer about 45 seconds to settle from say 1.2K RPM, to engine idle, say 500 RPM. Once the idle settles, the transmission is engaged & car is driven.



With NO fault codes, while driving for 20 minutes with outside temp at approx 32 C degrees, with the AC OFF neither fan seems to be running. After coming to a stop (verified neither fan is ruuning), engaging AC at lowest temp setting, cabin fan ON full, cold air through cabin vents, both radiator fans engage at very high speed. Then, when turning AC off, both radiator fans stop.



While driving quite aggressively, I monitored the coolant temp. The highest reading was 98 C. The AC ON / OFF did not seem to change the coolant range by more than a couple degrees. After idling several minutes (radiator fans not spinning), the VCDS coolant temp of 94.5 C dropped to about 87 C.



Each time the fault code was triggered when the VCDS coolant temp measured 74, 77, 78 degrees C. One time the engine light came on within a minute of engine cold start, the other 2 times not sure as my wife was driving...



An engine start with the existing Engine fault dash lamp ON, both fans spin at max (with or without AC).



Thank you for taking a look. Any ideas would be greatlty appreciated.
