    More than likely it is doing a regen.
    When you pull up in future, have a listen and feel if there is extra heat coming from under the car.You may feel it tickover differently at that point as well.
    if so, Let it run until it stops doing this.

    DPF regens in progress will see the fan running after you shut the car off, but I have a 2.0 D S-Max (2010) with no DPF, and the fan always runs for a while after I shut the engine off. Even if I just start it from cold and maneuver the car in the driveway (without getting out of 1st), the fan will run after shutdown. Plenty of other owners on the S-Max owners group on FB have verified the same behaviour, so it seems to be par for the course for my engine at least. If it only happens sometimes, it's most likely the DPF. If it happens literally all the time, it might well be just the way the engine is designed.
