After fixing a problem....
I used to have an auxillary fan that was on at all times. This was because it was wired to the ignition so when the car key was in 2nd position, the fan would go on.
Now that I took it to a dealer and they fixed it, I noticed a HUGE amount in loss of power. I compared the acceleration with my friends 2004 Audi A4 1.8t prior to getting the fan fixed and I accelerated much quicker. Now that this fan is fixed, he passes me very easily. Also, the audi is supposed to go 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and mine is supposed to go 0-60 in 6.9 seconds.
Is this issue because the fan was giving more air to the engine which caused it to move quicker? Any help would be appreciated and what is a cheap mod that could give me some power? Not much, just enough to help me merge on freeways when I really need it.
