Anyone else have a fan they can hear from inside their house with the doors and windows closed? Car parked outside, not in the front room, honest.

:confused:

the fault experts will be along shortly :rolleyes:

Normally with a turbo car, the fan stay on for 5mins to cool the turbo unit down but not sure if that is the case with the R56 :o

On my first R56 I never heard the fan EVER :eek: , however on this car (Built Jun 07) I hear it most times I park up.. The fan is not to cool the turbo as it does it by some other means (I've read this somewhere before) so I take it, it is to cool the engine itself however you can hear the turbo cooling if you lift the bonnet.

The fan is quite noisy tho..

Yeah, ours does this. About the time we open the doors after almost any journey we hear the fan come on, and it stays on for a good few mins.

Like Korky say's you can hear it behind a 2m think lead plated nuclear blast door.

My fan comes on often, not for long though and it is not loud.
