cooling fan
This is probably a question for Keith, but all input is very welcome.
Before I switch my engine off I let it idle for a minute with the air con on so the cooling fan runs and lets the engine cool a bit and the turbo stop spinning. Anyway, did this as usual, switched the a/c off and waited for the fan to stop but it didn't. It didn't stop until I switched the engine off. It has never done this before, any ideas?

Air Con Fan
Think it will run until there is just less than a 10 degree difference between car temperature and ambient air temp. Am sure Keith will be along if I've got it wrong !

Phil with a hot engine the engine ECU can keep the fan going or switch it on even after you turn off the ignition if necessary to cool the engine. I assume it is not on all the time now though even from cold with AC off as that would not be correct
