2015 TDI Fan Running
So this morning I pulled into work and shut the car off. My electric cooling fan kept running, even though it was like 35 degrees this morning. I went back to the car about 5 minutes later. It was still running. So I started the car and the temperature looked fine so I shut it off. The fan immediately shut off, like normal. I am assuming it is a German electrical gremlin, like all of my German cars have had, but I wanted to see if any of you have experienced this issue before?
Thanks

Regen is the process of burning off burning off the soot that builds up from burning diesel fuel. It happens more frequently if you do a lot of city driving. It happens when you turn off the car. It sounds like the fans running. It lasts about 10 minutes. If you are doing a lot of highway driving and a good fuel it happens infrequently. If you do a lot of city driving or bad fuel it can happen every few weeks. When your “fans” were running did you smell a slight odor?

I bought it used about 3 weeks ago. I didn't notice the smell. But if it happens again, I will let her run for a while and see what happens. Totally love it by the way.

Sounds like you shut it down during the regen cycle. Completely normal.

Good thing the mirrors turn inwards when car locked, so I can look out window from work to double check that doors are locked: with other cars, my OCD compelled me to leave the building and double check that doors locked....now if Audi would have only connected the fan to a little LED light in the grill........

Precisely. Even though I know what the fan is up to, I still go back outside and check the car in about 10 minutes to make sure fan is off.
