Scirocco Central

I've always been led to believe that you should leave a turbocharged engine running for a couple of minutes after you've stopped, to let the turbo cool down.

With Stop/Start as soon as I stop the car the engine cuts out, is this likely to cause long term damage to the turbo?

Nope its fine, just dont trash the nuts off it in the last few minutes of your journey, by all accounts there is a little motor that keep going after shutdown to keep things cooled,

its been talked about a few times before too

As above there is an electric motor that keeps coolant circulating for a period afetr engine is switched off to stop the heat build up.

Something has changed with turbo timers ? Anybody knows ? I am looking for something but i can't waint anything which suits to 2.0 TSI ? Thanks for giving advice
