Is it normal for your the radiator fan to run for 10 min after you turn your engine off even when it's still cold?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Have you checked you coolant level? I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a cracked thermostat housing causing coolant to leak slowly. See http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f15/...tml#post498163

I check the coolant and it's ok, No i haven't been flogging the car I love the car to much. But what i did is i try to replace the climate control and for some reason one of the fuse blow up, I replace the blown fuse buth the fan still keep on running for 10min. I dont know if there is another fuse i need to replace or some other parts.2009 Tiguan TDI and 2007 Passat TDI

I had a similar problem with my previous car, a 2001 polo. My fan wouldn't come on and it would heat up if stationary. The only way to switch the radiator fan on was to turn the air conditioning on and the fan would come on. But when I switched my car off, the fan would still run for about 10 mins. When I had it diagnosed, the thermostat wasnt working (along with a whole lot of other faults, o2 sensor not working, etc, etc, etc). So maybe the termostat is stuck and still thinks that the car is hot. Hope this helps.
