AC/Fan problem

My AC isn't spitting out cold air and my engine fan isn't turning over when the engine temp starts rising. Before I take it in to get looked at, I was wondering if anyone had seen this before? Just in case they're related and it's something simple.

Thanks,

Re: AC/Fan problem

My dad had this same problem on his A6. His air would not blow cold unless the car was moving. He drove it like that for a while and ended up replacing his whole fan. Maybe your problem is related to a temp switch. You could pull the fan and put power to it directly if the switch is not part of the fan electrics.

Seen it,but it could be many things

Look at the fuse panel on top of the battery cover(under the cover with the 3 screws)
You will see three green fuses. pull them out and inspect.if there is one that is burnt then replace it and see if the fans work.Also inspect the fuse socket and see if it is burnt. If it is then replace the fuse board. It's as easy as eating flapjacks with butter)
