hi, I've got a 61 plate fabia greenline 2 and it seems the cooling fan is coming on too often, even after just a short  run from cold with light throttle it starts and stays on for a minute or two after the engine stops. Engine isn't over heating. Took it back to local dealer and they said there is nothing wrong, its part of the dpf system just doing what it does. Is this normal for this engine ? 

I don't see why not, if it goes off again now and then and after turning off the ignition. (Perhaps with a short delay to going off).

If you run it long enough for it to complete the regeneration process the fans wouldn't run on after you turn the engine off.

it's the same after a decent run, just wanted to know if this is normal behaviour

Sounds like normal behaviour, as doing the job it should.

?

Did your car get 'The Emissions Fix' carried out?

yes it's been done. 

nobody's saying anything needs doing so I'm quite happy. 

The fan coming on isn't actually bothering me, I just wanted to know if anyone thought there might be an underlying issue, especially with me having no previous experience with this engine I wasn't sure. 

 

thanks all 🤘

There has been issues of fan's running when the car is turned off, where it simply does not stop hence a flat battery.  You will know either within minutes if yours does not stop or at least, the following day, when you try to start the car!

oh no its always stopped after a minute or so
