Fans running on after engine stopped

Featured Replies

Hi,

I have a '2025 Kodiaq purchased March this year.

Car first registered last May and was a Skoda vehicle and had covered approx 5000 miles when I bought it.

It's been fine all this time except yesterday when I turned the engine off one or more fans continued to run - and they sounded like they were running at top speed.

It was only a 15 min journey and the weather wasn't that hot. It did the same again travelling back home.

Did wonder if maybe doing a regen, so running hotter, but have been out today and stopped at a shop after a few minutes and the fans were running again - checked the coolant and oil temps on the dash and neither had time enough to even register, so surely no need for any fans to be on.

Both coolant and oil levels are fine and the car has covered less than 8000 miles.

Anyone else had this happen?

Cheers

Geoff

^^^ Worth mentioning it is a 2.0 TDI so people need not look at your profile. Sounds very much like a regen. Better fans on than requiring to call 999.

Sounds like a cooling fan(s) controller issue - how long did they run for, I'm just asking that as it sounds like them running did not flatten the battery - could this also be due to an electric cooling pump failure which is allowing a local area to be at a high temperature, and that area is a sensor where part of the fan controller gets triggered from?

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes it's 2.0 TDI

They run on for a a god 5 mins or so,

Just been out an started the car with a cold engine and the fan on the passenger side of the radiator starts straight away. Is that normal?

Cheers

Seems to like a regen....probably, it was some kind of interruption during this process
