Just remember that an E85 tune will be different than any map you already have. I would do the switch to E85 and Steve's shop, and then have hime tune it before it ever hits the street. I would do some calculations as well to make sure that the Walboro 255 and 600cc injectors would be enough too.. You may need 2 Walboro's, and some 1000cc's. Shoot Steve and email, and ask what he thinks. He knows the VQ pretty well, and should know off the top of his head what you would need. steve@kantuning.com

So what all happened? Did the fans just start this? easiest thing is to retrace exactly what you did or what happened before this all started

I think it might be the temp sensor that send the signal to the control module to keep the fans running. On some cars the fans will stay running after the car is off. Not too sure bout the audi as i havent messed with a vw in awhile.

also now that you put new fans in put the old control module back in and see if it still does the same thing. If it does than its something sending the signal to it. Something probly shorted sending the signal to the control module to have the fans running constantly and burned up the fans

yeah I still need to install the radiator and run the car. I also read that even if the battery is removed and power is drained, the car will hold all codes, temps, and anything related to the ECU until the car is restarted and runs a full diag...

The radiator will be here friday and hopefully I'll be able to figure everything out.

the old fans were toast. I know that for sure.

The control module code has been cleared and hasn't come back so I'm starting to cancel out symptoms.

If anything, I'll just run a kill switch LOL
