'91 100 After Run Fan

[Ed Kellock]

I have a CGT with the NG motor as I believe is in you 91 100, or very nearly
so.  Even when I did a track event with the car, I had to jumper the
afterrun fan manually.  The CGT engine compartment is a little tighter than
in teh type 44 chassis so I wouldn't expect the afterrun to run on its own
very often at all.  The only thing that I can see as a downside to your
choice to jumper it to run every time is premature failure of the fan motor.

By jumpering the temp switch you have verified that the afterrun system is
working.  You have a temp switch that is more conservative than the one Audi
chose to use.  You have a non-turbo engine, which should have less need to
keep things cool after shut down than a turbo motor.

My recommendation would be to hook the switch back up and call it good.
Perhaps some day when you shut down during  a tour of Death Valley in the
summertime you can make proper use of the afterrun system.

I have the 85 degree after run fan switch too.

Here is what I did: I simply connected the two wires together. This way the
fan comes on every time after I shut off the car and turns off once the
timer in the relay kicks in.

Any adverse effects of this modification? Alternatively, is there a lower
temperature after run switch available?

reality, I've got two cars with the same system and neither one has ever
really run.  Part of it I think is because of where the switch mounts. 
Stuck up in the air on the left side of the valve cover (drivers).  The
older cars mounted the switch on a bracket over the right side of the engine
right over the exhaust manifold.  Even there, with the low temperature
switch, I've heard run only a couple of times.
