The fan on my Golf Plus used to continue to run for a while after the ignition was turned off, presumably to cool the engine. It now stops as soon as the ignition key is turned off. What is the problem? Fuse or something more serious and expensive?

The engine would help?

I'm assuming a DPF regen.

Actually this could be quite tricky. On some cars the fan is just set to run for a predefined time after you turn off. On others there is a second sensor which controls this and the fan will continue to run only if it's needed. However a trip to your local dealer will allow them to check to see if there are any fault codes showing up and tell you what the normal behaviour should be which should put your mind at rest. As an alternative if there is someone near you with a code reader then this will give you the same information.

Sorry I forgot to say that my Golf Plus is a 2005 1.9TDI. Thank you for the very helpful advice.
