blomleys Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi, I have only had my car for a couple of months, only just gone past 1100 miles, but I have noticed a few times that stopping there is a fan (or pump) still running after the engine has stopped, it runs for a good 5 minutes. First time I noticed it, I popped the bonnet to check, and I could see the coolant was bubbling so presumed it was some built in cooling thing. However it was only 18 degrees today (not complaining, but it's hardly July temperatures) and I hadn't thrashed it home (17 miles, country roads, with traffic), is this normal? Do other owners have this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Its normal Also leave ur car running on idle a wee bit so it doesn't mess up the turbo with pressure Before turning it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyallan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Mine does it. Seems to run coolant to the turbo from what I can make out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillyallan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The car is mental basically. We parked up today for a short time while having a drink and a short time after everything was off, something in the dash moves or closes or something. I've heard it before but haven't figured what it is yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It moves to the closed position until you get back in. Keeps the elements out I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
