    Couple of days ago, with temps in the single digits, the cooling fan would keep running after shutting down the Clubman. It only used to did this after a hard run, in hot outside temps.

    Then that stopped, and the auto climate control would blow full force at start-up, regardless of the temp setting. It used to wait till the engine warmed up before blowing normally.

    Today the check engine light is on, the cooling fan does not run at shut down, but the climate control is still goofy. All fluid levels are normal. Guess a trip to the stealer on Monday:rolleyes:

    Anyone had any of these things happen?

    Gimli is an 08 Clubman S with 20ish K miles.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Yup.
    We had to go for about a 40 mile highway motor tonight, got home, then had to go out again, and the CEL cleared. Still going to the dealer in the morning.

    Well it was an embolism (air bubble) in the cooling system. It tricked the sensors into thinking the coolant was hot, even when cold. There is a bulletin #SIM170109 for the code they found, 2F22, Engine Temp Plausibility:rolleyes5: Fix is bleed system, top up coolant, check for leaks.

    So I guess Engine Temp Plausibility means it's plausible that there is a coolant issue. Who comes up with the descriptions for these codes:idea::mad2:

    You need to check your coolant's lubrication.

    Does coolant lube come only in a spray can, or can I still get the old trusty pour in type?

    That sounds good for track days, but a DD could probably get away with the old pour in type.
