X5 40D M sport engine fan

Post by telatech » Mon Jun 10, 2013 10:26 pm

Hi all,

I noticed that sometimes after a journey of 15 miles the engine fan keeps going when I park and stop the car.
Should I be worried, or is this normal ?

No warning lights. is there a way of checking the engine temperature?

Thanks in advance

It could be the system was in the middle of a DPF purge/regen cycle and in order to stop things burning under the car (the DPF gets rather hot!!) the fans run to keep the temps down.  Should go off after about 10-15 minutes.
