I went for a run today was running very cool in this weather.
There is no viscous fan, but there are two well caged and shrouded electric fans and these are both running continuously (abet slowly) from startup, except with the climate control completely off.
VCDS shows that they are being told to run by duty cycle, and the Engine output tests speed them up and down correctly.
Group 7 also shows oil temp and this a few degrees higher as expected but still cold like the coolant.
It would appear that there is only one simplex (two pin grey) coolant temp sensor on this engine.
