Noisy Fans...

Post by fenny123 » Tue Oct 25, 2005 12:52 am

Hi - anyone any experience, or could comment on what I think are noisy electric fans that cut in when the air con is is on (located in the front grill) ?

Dealer reckons they are all noisy, that there may be a technical note about it... Expect them to make a noise, but a bit intrusive..

RS6 Saloon 53 plate

Thx,
Lee

They do make a noticable noise, but on mine it's certainly not intrusive & can only really be heard on start-up.

I live in West Lancashire, but once a month drive down to London, so kinda pass Northamptonshire (sort of).

I'm sure their are some RS6 owners on here that are much closer, but if you don't have any luck, drop me a line & we could arrange to meet next time i'm heading South.

IThx Paul - have not yet seen another Saloon on the road; seems to be plenty of load carriers about :-)

I'll see if anyone else closer posts; else take you up on your offer.

My 6+ has the same problem and the noise level varies and is sometimes slightly intrusive (I know, turn the radio up!). My dealer has changed the aircon fan but it has made no difference and thinks 'they are all like that'. Doesn't bother me that much but when you think of the price it sometimes anoys me a bit.

Cheers, MartynC
