2011 A3 TDI S-Line w/ 17,000 miles.

I turned off the car in the driveway after probably 45 minutes of errand-running driving last night -- outside temp around 88 degrees F, no A/C on, got out, hit the security button, and kept hearing a radiator fan run at FULL SPEED -- very loud.

I stayed by the hood for 120 seconds waiting for it to turn itself off. Kept running.

Hopped back in cockpit, turned on engine, let it run for approx. 30 seconds, turned it off - and all quiet. No more fan.

Wazzup? Ideas?

There are just too many to list....
This is probably the 100th thread started on this. Your DPF was under regen when you shut the car off (or had just completed). Normal. Please read your manual, it will tell you more about this.
