How long does your fan stay on after the car turns off?

Mines still on for 10-15 minutes after short rides. Something doesn't seem right.

About 10 minutes for longer drives, a third of that for say a 10 mile roundtrip.

I think the time depends on the driving style.. If I drive it hard, probably up to 10 mins. However if i drive normal, sometimes the fan stop directly as i turned the engine off.

Normal behaviour ...

The conventional coolant pump is driven by a belt and cannot be used for cooling the exhaust turbocharger after the engine has shutdown. For this reason there is an electic coolant pump, which works at a power of 20W.
This is done by a seperate cooling circuit. This circuit can also be activated during engine operation, the electric coolant pump can be switched on taking into account the following factors:

- Coolant temperature at engine outlet
- Engine oil temperature
- Injected fuel quantity

The heat input into the engine is calculated these values.
The after-run of the electric coolant pump can last up to 30 minutes.
To improve the cooling effect, the electric fan is activated and can for up to a max of 11 minutes.

There are also two separate 50W cooling pumps for the DMEs (one for each bank)
