Problem? I'm quite certain that "working as intended" ... I've noticed If I drove the car hard in Dynamic, when I pull in the fan does what you've described, but it does not do a cool down cycle if I just went out for a minute and drove lightly, etc.

That is normal operation for the 4.0 TT. Being a "hot v" the fans run to cool the turbos after the car is stopped.

Agree with everyone else. This is normal operation, not a problem.

When I came home last night the post shutdown fan kicked on, but sounded like it was struggling to run. Today it didn't kick on at all, will this trigger any codes?

Any idea where this fan is located, it does smell like smoked electronic or motor smell when I opened the hood.
