I had similar last week, fans were over responding recently and figured it was going to be a nightmare but they just gave it back and said it’s fixed with no explanation

I've gone to this garage for the past few years, as I was dissatisfied with what my previous garage did for a number of reasons. They've always been prompt at getting service and MOT done, and they've also been happy to keep hold of the car until the following morning when I can go and pick it up. Only disadvantage is it's a mile from where I now live, and it's also uphill to get there, so the walk to collect it this morning was not fun.I had similar last week, fans were over responding recently and figured it was going to be a nightmare but they just gave it back and said it’s fixed with no explanation

Also similar (the mile hilly walk)

If so chances are it was doing a dpf regen. . The fans stay on after switch off to cool everything down.

Petrol. That’s basically what was happening though, presume computer glitch rather than mechanical.

They’ve got them in petrol cars now these days too - gasoline particulate filters (GPF).
Thankfully they don’t have the same issues the DPFs do, i.e. getting clogged up with crap and having to be cleaned out periodically.

This. . .
First production car to have opf/gpf was the up!gti in 2018. .
But with petrols burning alot hotter than diesels. . They have less problems clogging. .
But cause alot more issues if you want the car to sound good and modify the exhaust system. . .ask me how I know

Quite the long day honestly but in a good way. My car went in for it's MOT and service early this morning which while it needed work done on it which cost me a fair bit it passed round about 2:30 this afternoon and to add to today, Raith Rovers defeated the dirty Dunfermline mob in the Fife Derby which helps end the day on a happy note for me.
