Thinking about it, if you unplugged the FBH before the T4 the K-Bus being cut would make no difference... AFAIK the T4 can't really do anything with the FBH anyway.

Shutdown proceedure after engine switched off:
175 seconds full load operation, 100 seconds part load.
Hope this helps.

Thankyou for the info - makes a bit more sense now
After my journey tonight...
When I started the car, it was at 33° C (still warm from my last journey).
It took 6 minutes of driving to get from 33° C to 75° C - I pulled over for a little while and noticed that the FBH seemed a lot louder than usual.
After a ~19 mile journey, the max temp attained was 84° C - it seemed to get to ~79° C quickly, then rise very slowly.
Could this mean my FBH is working properly now? Will give it another test tomorow...
