[V8] Amperage of fusible link for radiator fan??

[Kneale Brownson]

It's an 80-amp fuisable link  Audi Part #  N 017 125 3  and should be
available from a dealer for about $150.  I've never looked it up in the V8
service manual, but it must be in the electrical wiring diagram.   There's
an outside possibility it's in the service descriptions for the HVAC system.
