Engine still running with key removed

[leontsibob]

Hi also forgot to say since having my car nearly 2 weeks when I turn the ignition off and take the key out my engine is still on, it takes a few turns of key to stop it. Anyone else heard of this

Thanks

i had this problem with my punto and i think it started happening as i hit a bit of standing water, apparently there was some import and electricals in a stupid place, and considering this weather recently that might? have something to do with it, it sorted its self out when it dried out, i kept mine in my garage for a few days? hope this may help

Is everything else ignition controlled on or still working too, gauges,electric Windows etc
Or is it just purely the engine running on with the key removed, but all other ignition control stuff ie electric Windows etc is off ?

Everything else works when key is out and ignition ment to b off, maybe need a new barrell

You could try ringing stockton halfords, ask for Darren, and ask him about the leon that wouldn't turn off when the key was out the ignition, see if he can remember what the issue was.

Could try that thanks for help lads, it's going back to seat in few days to b locked at so hopefully they will sort it foc, as iv not had it two weeks yet, it seems to b the less u use it the better it is

They'll have to fix it unless they made it clear to you of the fault when you bought the car

No I never knew, until 24 hr later it started doing it to me

My old Pug 306 did this, but then stopped and never did it again but I believe it was related to water getting in the electrics.

I'm pleased to say It's sorted, turns out it was a faulty relay, thanks for the help guys, I have to say I'm really impressed that the problem was found

Sorry to bring this thread back up.
My FR Diesel has started running on with the key removed.
Not all the time but does it a couple of times a week.
What relay did you change ?
