    I wouldn't say its normal as such, it happens when the dpf was mid regeneration and the car was turned off, hear it regularly and you are in for big trouble :(

    Wouldn't be too worried if the dash DPF light isn't on. My father had a Citroen that did this for years - never had to do anything to the DPF.

    A lot of cars will run the electric fan for a bit after turning the car off on a hot day.

    Well they may own an unnecessary diesel but there's not a lot the garage can do for that.
