Engine Cooling Fans stay on longtime
As the thread title says, when I shut my car down the noise of the engine cooling fans stays on for a long time, longer than any other car I have had. The other day I only went 4 miles round the corner, stopped the car, ignition off & again the fans kicked in & stayed on for a good few minutes..outside air temp 8 degrees, so its not hot
Is this normal?..is it part of the cooling the turbos down switch off procedure or something? thanks |

I put my battery on trickle over night once a fortnight, just to make sure the battery is up.

Good to know
Thanks Chaps good to know.
As my car is not an everyday car, I was thinking of putting a battery conditioner lead on it. Coming from F'cars they all needed 'plugging in' to keep the batteries good. Fcars have the socket built in in a nice handy spot....when you say you charge yours John have you had a lead put on the battery to somewhere convenient to plug into with an optimate or something?do u need to lift the bonnet each time to plug it in? contemplating gettting my dealer to fit one at first service,not sure where to position the socket |
