hello all,
my new (to me) 2016 s3 8v has a post shutdown whirring and beeping noise. sound like something running for aprox 20 seconds,can anyone tell me what this is and is it normal. still learning about this car so expect more questions soon. thanks in advance
 
The ventilation system makes a few weird noises when shutting down, also the cooling fans can still run when switched off. Apart from that some of the newer cars have weird noises when the infotainment shuts down but can’t recall that on my 8V.
 
Cooling fan (depending coolant temp)
Electric water pump
stepper motor range adaptation for throttle body or part of PCV (can’t recall which)

All Perfectly normal.

Enjoy the new car.
