First thing, AC works phenomenal when in motion.

Car will run hot if I sit in traffic for a very long time.
Below is my VagCom error code.
Any help is very much appreciated. I'm wondering if I should just replace the big fan with the control module.

Thanks, I was hoping the fault would be covered under warranty since I had just had the HPFP replaced under warranty for leaking and had the alternator replaced because fuel was leaking on it. I mentioned could the fan be replaced since the alternator was replaced maybe it shorted the fan, but no luck. I even tried saying it should be covered under warranty because the fans have to operate at full power during regen, no luck.

They better not try to hit me with a diagnosis fee since I gave them the problem code as well, but they said they have to run their own diagnostics on it as well.

Did you check fuses?
Do the fans go on when your A/C is on?

I haven't checked fuses yet, I just ran it by dealer and said this should be covered under warranty. Call me when you get around to looking at it if it's not covered. They wanted over $600 for this repair and were going to replaced the big fan.

I'll go pick up this evening after work and will get to diagnosing.
