Cold weather - Radiator Fan

[LondonViking]

Not sure this has been covered but strangely the radiator fan in my C63 (W204) now where the weather has turned cold (only in this cold weather) kicks in 1-2 minutes into the drive and then comes off again after 5ish minutes. Seems very good and would be good with some advice / experience on this.

Cheers

Unless you're having issues with it not reaching proper temperature I wouldn't worry.

No issue on that side of things at all.

How much is this costing?

Should be covered under warranty I expect.

Sounds an unusual failure.

I agree and surprised myself to be honest but well things break just annoying and seeing the MIL / EML on is never a thrill
