So my wife put a deposit on a 2011 Sportwagen, TDI 6 spd. 98k miles, hasn't moved much in the past 6 months according to carfax. I wanted to look it over before we buy it, car is in great shape. It was a chilly day here in New England (maybe 50 deg) but it didn't seem as if the A/c kicked on while in the lot.
Cooling fans did not turn on, felt the lines where I could reach under the hood and they were both same temperature, about same temps as outside. Did look like the a/c center was spinning like the clutch pulled in. Didn't drive the car.
Do the fan(s) kick on automatically like on my MK4? Car is at a local used dealer/garage. They told my wife it has a timing chain and never needs changing.... so I question what they say. Unfortunately it will be chilly tomorrow as well, and we were hoping to sign papers on it. Just dont want to fall for any BS.
Thanks,
Matt
