996TT Fans Staying on...problem?

[boony]

As in title really. Can't say if it's just started, or wheter I've just noticed it, but the fans seem to be on constantly. I guess this isn't normal?

Temp showing just over 80 which seems OK?

Any ideas much appreciated.

mice runs at a similar temp but the fans only generally come on either in eavy traffic on a hot day, or about 5 minutes after i have parked.

Cheers, I'll keep an eye on it over the next few days.

I have just noticed that mine keeps coming on now.
I don't think it used to come on that frequently. Seems to do it now after each time I have driven anywhere, even if only tootling around.

Might be related to my issue with the car using a lot of water all of a sudden.
Might be worth checking your coolant level as well.

A mate sorted mine today - it was because I had the Air Con on. Turned that off and the fans stopped almost instantly. Could be the same for you - doesn't explain your loss of coolant though.

Hmmm, does not sound too good, might want to have it checked out if it's using a lot of water as that is not normal, maybe a small leak somewhere.

80 is fine, normal operating temp should be from 80 - 95 in any Porsche, so I have no clue why the fans come on so early, maybe it is the aircon?

It might well be the air conditioning fans, mine run constantly when the ac is on and I thought it was the cooling fans... I found out when I clicked off the climate control.

Edited as I just read the full post and you look like you alread sussed this out !!
