Fans running high after engine off.

[Quattro8]

Hi guys, just wanted to double check on this, I've got a 2011 a3 2 litre diesel just brought my car home after a short 5 mile drive and after switching the car off the fans were still running very loud,  which I'm aware is normal to cool the engine however I waited a good 5 minutes and they were still going loud, so I restarted the engine and shut it off and they stopped.  Just wanted to check this as my previous fiesta needed a new relay because the fans got stuck on. Don't want to chance leaving the car for work to come back to a dead battery. 

 

Is it normal or should I get it checked?

Cheers.

You may of got away with it as new rules never came in till the 20th of May so technically they could not fail you under the old rules

Hello Paul,

Appreciate this isn't MOT rules! - but forum rules :- 

I like your posts which remind members to read the rules - all nice, tidy and civilised! 

I know the forum edits unacceptable words- by  blanking out these words with - ***? 

I notice it doesn't do the same when posters use abbreviated (just letters) instead of the actual unacceptable forum words though! 

Any reason why not, since it is exactly the same, and clearly understood word.

Keep up the good work.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Well said Gareth. Personally I don't respond to anybody who openly swears or who can't be bothered to use proper English in the question.
