My 21 reg Cupra Formentor PHEV has taken to spinning the radiator fan up to the max the moment the car is started or the charging cable is plugged in.
I can't find any reason for this on the vehicle status screens.
I've turned off the AC entirely and checked the coolant levels (which are fine).
No idea why the car has decided it needs to sound like a 737 about to take off.
I've driven it for over an hour like this, and the fan is still maxing out when I park up.
Any ideas what might have caused it to start doing this? Jealous of the recent high winds, perhaps.
 
Well I used to have jaguar f pace and the first fault I noticed there was this similar.
As if car would fly and when it would start it would not trip in between.
When complained they said water pump have issues but that is specific to jaguar f pace. Thought to share might be something going wrong with formentor in that direction. But constantly running fan at full speed is not normal. Its an electric motor and at some point this motor would die due to overload and engine would heat up and further issues.
So better go to dealership ASAP while fan is still operational. If you know what I mean.
