Problem (or not) with fan

[wookiesgirl]

Hi everyone

been lurking here for a couple of weeks and have today taken delivery of a 3008 1.6 vti exclusive - loving it so far - but have noticed that whenever engine is turned off, and am outside of car, what sounds like a fan continues to run for a few minutes. Anything to be concerned about? Do any of you have this?

Many thanks

my new 5008 done this last week, which had me a little perplexed as the car wasn't running hot when i parked up ?

If your car is a diesel its more than likely cooling itsllf after a regeneration or part regen.

DPFs and regeneration

i did wonder if this was connected to a Regen, but as this is my first Peugeot i have no experience of what happens in a Regen process

my previous Mazda showed no signs of when a Regen was happening (except the fuel econ going through the floor)

although i had a zafira which you certainly knew when a Regen was in process. burning smell ,and an exhaust note which sounds like its got a hole

Aye the Zafira sounds just like the 407 then and strangely its the 407 and Zafira that suffer with the most problems with their dpfs.

Rememeber to take your car out on a run if it mainly gets used for town driving. A run meaning keeping it above 50mph for ten minutes or more

i cover 20k a year mostly dual and motorway not much town driving.
the mazda sysytem has a weird dpf system as it dumps diesel into the sump, and if you dont keep an eye on the dip stick its likely that a new engine is needed due to the oil being picked up by the breather

It's the EGR going through it's programmed cleaning cycle to keep the bobbin nice 'n' shiny. It's noticeably noisy on the 3008 and 5008 1.6 HDi's for some reason.

Ah, that'll be the Peugeot engine that Mazda "improved"...
