nearside top of engine has got webasto written on it . could it be some sort of fuel heater?

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Air-con fan?

I think what you're hearing is possibly your webasto auxiliary heater, only gets fired up in very cold weather to assist the diesel engine heat up the water temp quicker. Sometimes you'll see the exhaust fumes from it coming from under the sill of the passenger door?

Hi thanks I thought it was something like that cause now you don't here it,

that's the reason why it gets really hot, my concern was it runs for some time after turn off.

thanks again for your input.
