RE: Audis vs Batteries

[steveb@newkla.kla.com (Steven Buchholz)]

The newer turbo-motors do run the radiator fan for an extended period 
after turning off the car.  This seems to be pretty much independent of 
the temperature on my '88 5000CSQ.  The cooling fan is run at low speed 
and the auxiliary water pump is run simultaneously.  All this is done 
to ensure that the temperature of the turbo bearings does not get too 
high.  So far I haven't noticed any problems with the cranking rate even 
with the long battery cable.  My '83 ur-Q actually seems to have more of 
a problem in that department.  On the '83 the only fan that can run when 
everything is shut down is the blower that cools the injectors.
