Engine Cooling problem
2005 Audi A8 V8 All Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
my audi runs a normal temp for about 15 minutes then the temp starts to raise past the 3/4 mark. both fans are running but if you put your hand behind the fan the air on one is hot as you might expect but on the other side its accutaly cool. is the radiator seperated or posssibly clogged. this seems kind of strange to me, i also wondered if the thermostat is mechancal or electronic either way its not like my old fords which i can work on.

Hi melnyczuk,

Based on your description, most probably the radiator is clogged.
