Default Buzzing Sound After Engine Shutdown??
Hello all,

I have what is probably a simple question. I'm a new owner to my '01 1.8T New Beetle and love it! My question is after I shut the car off, I hear a kind of buzzing sound coming from the engine compartment. It runs for several minutes (I've not timed it) then it shuts off. Anyone know what is continuing to run after the engine is shut off?

Also, I've heard that you should let you car idle after a freeway run, before you shut it down to allow the turbo to cool... about how long is long enough? I've been using the door warning chime to time me. After it stops chiming I turn off the engine.

Thx in advance!
Regards,
Tom C.
