There is a fan like sound that happens randomly even when the car is turned off. It's loud enough to hear from a good distance away from the car. It also is coming from the front right side of the car

Asked by GoND1967 Jan 17, 2017 at 10:29 PM about the 2003 Volkswagen Passat GLS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1 Answer

I am guessing that is the radiator cooling fan. It might run for a couple of minutes after shutting the engine off but it should not run after that.
