Well That Did not last, a lot of work for little joy.
Went for a long road test today.
My Electric cooling fan never came on, temp went sky hi in stop and go traffic.
Babied it home.
Not a good thing to cook my v 12 engine.
One fault showing Coolant Visit Workshop.
All connectors are tight and was cleaned had grease applied before connecting.
Remember fan did not freewheel when hooked up only after car warmed up?
I cant clear it with my odb tool.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok back to TT School.

Before you replace the fan , make sure your AC is fully charge and your cooling system is bled of air pockets
get a can of r134 with the gauge and hose at the local parts store to check your AC level . If it's low on refrigerant your AC compressor and cooling fan will not work correctly

If your fan is out, the a/c pressure will be super high, as no air will come through the condenser to cool it down.
I've had fans go bad before, same symptom, Coolant Visit Workshop message, everything else worked. After manually spinning the fan it would continue to work for the remainder of the trip most times.
Replaced the fan and all is well.
