same prob on our 9-3 Cabrio Mod 2000 FSP with 200 HP fan rotates just after cold engine start for appx. 10-20 secs. Dealer said fan is for the cimate control, but it runs also when the acc is off. i dont belive that too! Stephen Gant schrieb: > I have a 9-3SE 2.0 LPT (UK) with Auto Climate Control.
