Hi i just took delivery of my car yesterday (leon ST 184 manual Xcellence,desire red) Very impressed, took it for a spin, (30 miles)wound it up a bit and came home. took it out in the eve, 5 miles, normal driving, came home and after shutdown i noticed the fan was going for about 5 mins or more, engine temp was right in the middle (norrm) and the engine smelt strange. Could it be the DP filter regenerating? on a new car with only 50 mls on it?
I will see if it happens again. Thanks for any replies.. ALSO anyone know what donut wheel will fit so as not to have to pay exorbitant Dealer price.. Thanks again.
Thank you everyone for your replies, it gives me piece of mind..

My brand new 1.8 FR does this too, my old 1.4 FR didn’t. I was going to post the same question but haven’t got round to it. Glad it’s not just mine

Lets be clear, it will only be a DPF regen if you have a diesel. You guys with TSi engines doing this, it is something else. Could just be cooling down after a spirited run, or could be something else.
