The fan of a radiator with the electric drive

In Audi A4 the fan with the electric drive is put only in the presence of the strengthened cooling (an automatic transmission, the towing device in a factory complete set, climatic installation), it joins only in case of need.

Therefore the temperaturno-dependent switch is built in a radiator. If he "feels" that a cooling liquid proceeding by it after radiator passage still too hot includes the fan by means of the relay in a nest 2 in восьмиштырьковой to a relay support. It also switches off the fan electric drive when the temperature below in a radiator falls to certain size.

The two-level fan of a radiator with an electro-drive

In some versions Audi A4 there is a two-level fan of a radiator with the electric drive which thanks to presence of two steps of inclusion can react to rise in temperature of a cooling liquid more individually. It is possible thanks to a two-level thermoswitch which includes the second way of a current to the fan through other relay in a nest 3 in восьмиштырьковой to a relay support and additional resistance.

 Council: Because of electric connection through the plug 30 fan can suddenly join even at the idle engine. Be cautious at carrying out to work in an impellent compartment!
