Running normally but engine light on and fans stay on

[Tony A]

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

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!

Similar concern got on my A8.Have your concern sorted out after replacing the water pump and valve assembly ?

Thanks for your update
