Scirocco Central

hello all have a 20 tdi 140 and every now and then on a journey of about 5miles the fans come on and also run for about two minuets after switch off dealer says this is normal anyone know should i tell them different . many thanks john P's temperature shows normal

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..

Not noticed this on mine, I will double check.

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.

well thankyou all puts my mind at rest and trust back to my local dealer. next item has it been discussed about the clutch pedal squeak and also the noise from the rear
thanks john
