Noise from engine after ignition off
Hi all,
I recently (about a month ago) took delivery of the Audi A4 B8 2.7T CVT. It's been a great drive so far.
Just this evening, after driving home from work, I switched the engine off and took the key from the ignition. Stepping out of the car, I could still hear a noise from the engine bay - sort of like a fan-type sound. The sound went off after about 5 or more minutes.
I'm not worried too much, but wonder why this is so. I did push it a bit hard just before getting home, and that made me think of the older (non-Audi) modified cars that my friends used to have that had a turbo timer. But I didn't think 'normal' cars would have that feature.
Can anyone out there shed some light on this?
Thanks & regards

midwest is right. if the engine is hot after the engine is shut off, the fan will kick in. even my VW golf does that. great feature. i've never heard the fan kick in after the audi has been turned off. maybe because it doesn't get too hot. the aluminum block dissipates the heat much better.

The high pressue direct injection tends to make a much more prominent popping/clicking sound during the injection phase so what you are hearing is likely normal.
