**I have a 2003 Jetta 1.8T and the fan has run after the car was shut
off only once. I was stuck behind a tractor doing 10mph for just under
a mile on a scorching hot day in Mich. Got home, shut off the car and
the fan ran for a bit. It has never run in any other circumstance
(when shutting off the car) despite the weather or me using the A/C.
