[V8] Overheating, loss of electric fan 92 V8 4.2

[Dag Bøsterud]

I disconnected the sensor in the radiator. The fan now runs, probably fan 
speed two.
If driving slowly, the temperature still rises to 220-230 F.

Guess I'll be calling my local Audi-dealer tomorrow. My credit card will 
probably have a fit.
