As I parked my TDI in the garage, the fan kept roaring away. And there was an odor, the best I could describe it as the smell you get when you are running the self clean cycle on the oven. Definitely something burning, but not strong. The fan ran for about five minutes, then shut off.
And the smell went away slowly.
I'm guessing this is all normal. But as a newbie, I'd like a sanity check here please. I have a concrete floor, btw. Thanks
I have a portable gasoline can and two full propane cylinders in the opposite corner of the garage, near the door. Having been a volunteer fireman, I'm pretty sensitive to ignition sources and keep those nasty but necessary items as isolated as I can. The gas can and propane cylinders are in first class condition and don't leak, very careful about that. paranoid actually, retired insurance agent and underwriter.
So now this little furnace of activity comes into the garage, where there's a bit of volatility concerns. Should I leave it parked outside to finish its work?
