I'm far from an expert but I believe it is normal as the DPF needs high heat to function so it quite likely on short journeys that the engine will still be pretty hot if its mid cycle at the time...

But seeing as I'm still waiting for my roc I can't say first hand so take it with a pinch of salt..

Mine does this.

I've got a 40 mile run to work with the last couple through a built up area at 30mph.

Arriving at work on Sunday, 07:00 and -5 Degs C, as I switched off and got out the fan started up... :?

This has been discussed on here a few times before and it is indeed perfectly normal.
