I've just upgraded from a 184FR DSG to a Cupra 290 Black DSG. One odd thing I've noticed in the Cupra is a humming noise from behind the dash when I turn off the engine, or it stop/starts. Lasts about a minute. Sounds like an electrical cooling fan or maybe auxilliary water pump? Definately not the main engine cooling fan. Wondering if this is normal or something to raise with the dealer?

They all do it, believe it's the auxiliary water pump. Nowt to worry about.

I get exactly the same thing on my Leon 5-door FR 1.8TSi DSG petrol! Four years old today (the car, not me), and no problems! Still a brilliant car!
