1.6 titanium diesel is the fan ment to keep running after engine off especially after a short journey. Please help.

The fan runs on when Diesels are in the middle of regenerating the DPF, it is normal and as you are only doing short journeys it does not get the chance to complete the procedure.

But I thought the DPF only happens on longer journeys, not the short ones mentioned here?

Most cars with electric fans occasionally run on after topping. When you are moving the natural air flow is enough but when you stop the heat in the block still needs to be released. Diesels run hotter anyway and the engine is a big lump of metal, my 1.6 tdi does it from time to time - no worries.

Ours does that some times but not very often.
