- 2015 Golf Sportwagen 6 speed manual. B5 died at 302k miles.
I am on my 3rd day of using the car. Is it normal for the cooling fan to stay on for about 3-5 minutes after the engine is turned off? It was used in stop and go traffic for about 7 out of the 14 mile commute. Ambient temperature was about 60F. The last 7 miles of the commute was on sections that allowed for cruising at 60 MPH. Coolant is right at the "min" mark.
Fiddling with the dashboard controls, I came upon "Oil temperature" Mine was about 200-205. The highest I have seen so far was on an extended freeway run at 75 MPH for about 50 miles and the reading got to 212. Hope these readings are about normal. My late B5 stayed at 190 all the time, but I did not have a digital readout, just and analog dial.
