Had my new roadster (400 miles) out for a ride through a touristy town where traffic was congested. I was surprised to hear a beep alerting me to look at the dash where I found the temp gauge warning. Once I got it moving it did not go off again until a similar driving condition later in the week. Anyone with any comments or similar happenings??

 

Is this an '04 model, I'm not sure but you could require a reflash from the dealer on set point at which the cooling fan turns on. Check the TSB section on the forum.

 

it can't be a roadster if it is a '04.

 

'05' Roadster

 

Is your coolant level correct, and the correct mixture?
Just because the dash doesn't say it's low, doesn't mean it's not.
There was also a recall or TSB on something to do with the fan.

 

When my radiator fan went bad my radiator light would come on when the fan should be running at about a tick over halfway on the temp gauge and shut back off after it went down to where the fan would stop running. I never had a beep though.

 

There was a recall - Recall E-19 Radiator Cooling fan Module on some models, you can go to

Hopefully yours is covered under the recall. Not all were. Mine went fubar and wasn't included in the recall and they wanted $400 at the dealership for a new fan motor. I said screw it and bought a whole new fan/shroud assembly from eBay for < $200 and did it myself. Only thing that sucked about the aftermarket part though is the plug on the fan wiring doesn't clip tight but it's connected.
