Default Engine fan going on after 40k service...never did before...
Had my car in last week for it's 40k service. Now, after the car sits for a few hours, the engine fan engages upon start up. It then shuts off after a minute of idling or driving. In the life of the car, this fan has never once gone on. Is there something the dealer tinkered with during the service that maybe messed something up? I'll take it back in next week, but would like to know some info to help steer them in the right direction. TIA

Coolant temp sensor on the back of engine-make sure you get an OEM replacement!

Default Weird! Why was it fine until the service? Does the 40k call for
an inspection to this unit? I can't see why it would never go on until now.
