2005 1.6 Polo - Involuntary Fan Movements

Post by 16_in_the_clip »

Hey Guys

I drive about 3kms to work and noticed, when I park, my radiator fan stays on at high speed after I switch the car off and stays on for about 3minutes before going to the lower fan speed which lasts another 3minutes. I don't think this is normal since I have driven much longer distances in much higher temperatures with the fan not even activating at all. Heat gauge inside car shows its at normal operating temperature when this happens.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe faulty fan? water pump? temperature sensor?
