Watch your tacho and listen to the engine as the fan cuts in and out. If the note changes a little and revs drop or rise a little then it's the aircon. Alternate test is to switch air on and off and if fan follows suit then that's it.

I have a 2008 DiD 5 speed manual and when I drive at highway speeds the viscous fan is on permanently (fully locked on) if the temperature is anywhere near 30 degrees C or more. It is VERY loud and VERY annoying.
It even comes on intermittently and everytime I stop and go at traffic lights in 23-25 degrees C temperatures. I mean only stops of 20-30 seconds at the lights and it kicks in full swing. I am pretty sure it slows me down of the light too, it feels like it saps power from the engine.
Is this normal? I don't think it should be. I mean I am not towing or even travelling up a hill when it is happening. Surely crusing at 110 on the freeway would produce more than enough air flow to tell the sensor on the viscous hub that it doesn't need to be fully locked in. THese things really ROAR when they run at 100% at 2000-3000 rpm....
How about everyone else? Can anyone tell me if this is normal????
Thanks
