Default Electric fan running after engine shuts down

Hi need some advice. My Diesle A8 has been going well, had a few issues with blocked drains that's about it. Yesterday on my way out I noticed that the engine fan was running for a long time (15 minutes) after I switched of the engine. When I start the car it stops running. Temp gauge is normal and water fluids etc ok. Parked it up last night and fan was running. This morning I started the carvok but whe. I switched the car of the fan is starting the stopping every few mimutes ? There is a ticking noise coming from the rah side of the engine ? But that's about it. All fuses etc ok ! Any advise suggestions appreciated as the battery is now flat and whe. I hook up the charger the fan imedia
They starts running again ?

Oops sorry about the spelling. The fan constantly starts and stops when the engine is switched of ,until the battery is flat then when I hook up the charger the fan starts and stops again ?

VCDS scan first. It is most likely Fan Module. It is integrated with the fan.
