Radiator Fan Issue

lilozzy · 06-06-2011, 04:58 PM

i have a question that i hope everyone can help me figure out.

before leaving for my deployment i had to change the battery in my 328XI. After the initial install i had a few errors come up (4X4, Brakes) but they went away, my main issue is that after start up the radiator ran kicks into overdrive it will go full speed for about 3-5 seconds then goto normal for about 15-30 seconds then back.

any ideas?

Thought I saw somewhere that batteries need to be coded to the car. Not sure if only dealer can do it or an indy shop.

i know it needs to get coded but i was wondering if this is a normal issue after a battery install?
