Running normally but engine light on and fans stay on

My car is running normally, is not overheating, and levels are correct. But the engine light has come on and both cooling fans stay on for about 5 minutes after I switch off. Audi garage advised me that the pump has failed and I need a new cooling pump/thermostat assembly (Very expensive!). Surely if the pump wasn't working the engine would overheat. Could it be a faulty sensor somewhere?

I'd get it scanned for the fault code to be honest.  Or get yourself a small bluetooth obd scanner that you can connect to your phone. Saved me many £££s over the years.  Do you drive it hard before you stop?  I'm sure someone will be along to provide a better response.  Hope it gets sorted soon :yes:

Took the car to Audi specialist. Paid £720 to change the water pump valve assembly and water pump!!  Just because of a warning light, but you have to rely on their professional advice!
