Is this an indication the fan is wearing out or faulty - or could it just be a bit...

    Just trying to gather some data about this supposed 'intended characteristic', as audi have told me. Does your 06/07 A3 give you a regular brief 'ESP fault see handbook' warning message on the dash upon startup, which then immediately disappears leaving no warning lights lit?
