I've noticed the engine fan in my new Cooper comes on pretty much whenever I am driving round town. It is probably OK, but was wondering if any other owners have noticed this?

It certainly comes on more ofen than my Golf did and if my memory is correct my old ONE.

Thanks.

Mine does exactly the same thing, the fan is always on whenever I drive for about 20 minutes or more.

not noticed that but noticed the other day in Edinburgh while driving around looking for Rutland Sq once I parked switched the car off and then locked it walking away I heard the fan coming on

i have just my r56 2 weeks ago & my fan seems to come on all the time as well. It also comes on sometimes after the engine has been turned off for about 30 seconds.

Same question from me - even more apparent now that we've got some warmer weather. I turn the engine off and then the engine fan kicks in for a good 5mins or so. Anyone know the reason why? Obviously tricky to see how hot the engine actually is when there's no temperature guage either...

Normal.

It's not just the fan, either. There's an electric pump cycling water, too.

Cooling the turbo. That sucker gets HOT. Don't stress it.
