Sometimes when i turn my car off my fan comes on and stays on! the only way to get it to turn off is start the car again and give it a little rev then turn it off... sort of annoying lol. anyone have an idea what it could be?

also what would i need to fit electric windows to keep fit windows, can i fit saxo vtr/vts dials easily and when the car is idoling its very slighlty sort of cutting out and back in. you can hardly even notice it but you can hear a slight change in the tone. could this just be cleaning the throttle body or something? cars got fsh and sounds like its running sweet. also the cambelt was done at 38k, im on 62k now, do i need to get it done? its a 1.1.

Thanks for and info :afro:

Hi, the fan can continue to run after the engine is switched off to help cool the coolant.

>>More from a guide:

POWER LATCH (maintaining of the ECU power supply after the ignition is switched off)
This function allows the ECU to control the following parameters:
• engine cooling,
• saving of the adaptives and fault memory.

When the ignition is switched off, the ECU maintains the supply to the double multifunction relay for a minimum of 15 seconds.
This time can vary depending on coolant temperature.

The Power Latch phase allows the new parameters which were programmed since the last time the ignition was switched off to be saved.
At the end of the Power Latch sequence, the ECU is no longer energised.
