richey33 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 hello all, Just testdriving a couple with an aim to purchasing. I know a lot of R32'ers mention to 'listen out for the fans' pulsing. During driving, stationary, ??? When is the problem noticable, and during what state of driving. Please assist !! Respect to all, Richey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsko Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 It doesn't matter while it's moving or still, it's while one of the 'Auto' or 'Econ' buttons are pressed. I can't remember which one exactly, but try both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyp Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi Richey, ok when on "auto" mode, this is the air con, the fans will spin constantly, but if they don't and they "pulse" you no the are fecked. When on "econ" mode, air con off, they will work independantly cooling the engine when required. So basically get "auto" on and make sure they spin and don't stop. Where abouts in the country are you test driving these cars mate. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattchaps Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Sweet, another possible R32 owner... we're going to have them all on TSN soon! Hope you get on well Richey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richey33 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Cheers lads. . . . Dealing with dealerships is never easy, and your almost sure that a better one comes up just after youv'e bought one !! I might have to try bigger dealerships though . . . small ones don't offer the same haggling discretion !!! Got to get one before June 1st . That's the deadline. Jimmy P, Mattchaps, thanks lads. I knwo I am in good company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyp Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 And a bit of advice, never get in Mookster's .:R and let him drive you, as not only will you come out a nervous wreck you will want to part with large sums of money to a tuning company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
