Why does the fan of the old Magotan keep running after parking and turning off the engine?
2 Answers
The fan of the old Magotan continuing to run after parking and turning off the engine is a normal phenomenon. After the car is parked and the engine is turned off, the temperature temporarily rises. Since the car is equipped with an automatic cooling function, the cooling fan continues to work for a while until the temperature drops before stopping. Here is some relevant information about the Magotan: 1. Model: The Magotan is a mid-size car launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4865mm, 1832mm, and 1471mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. 2. Engine: The Magotan is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, with maximum power outputs of 110kw and 137kw respectively, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
This is a fairly common issue. The fan on older Magotan models continuing to run after the engine is turned off is usually caused by a faulty fan control module or relay. The fan is designed for cooling purposes, and if the system detects that the engine temperature is too high after parking, or if the temperature sensor malfunctions and sends erratic signals, the fan will delay shutting off. I've encountered similar situations before, especially as the car ages—the fan relay contacts can wear out and get 'stuck,' failing to turn off. Additionally, poor or loose wiring connections can cause the fan to keep running, such as when a loose connector still supplies power. More seriously, if the car has been in an accident or the fan system has been modified, incorrect module settings can prevent it from stopping. While this isn't immediately dangerous in the short term, it can drain the battery and reduce the fan's lifespan over time. It's recommended to have it checked immediately or diagnosed by a professional shop to avoid being stranded on the road. Regular maintenance of the radiator and keeping the fan clean can help prevent some of these issues.
