W211 E280cdi
Unusual issues

Hi i am having strange issues with my W211 E280cdi its a 2005 V6 Diesel, recently the check engine light has been illuminating, the car drives fine no other issues but when i turn it off the engine runs on for a few seconds, even with the key completely out, it shuts off like i say after a few seconds, it doesnt do it every journey and it can be short or long journey it just seems to do it intermittently, i can read and clear the codes a whole host of them appear in the memory but they dont seem to be whats affecting it, the other thing that happens when i open the door or blip the alarm the cooling fan runs up for a few seconds, i am sure its an electrical issue i just need someone here to pipe up if they have experienced the same issues and found the fault!

yes why didn't I think of that?....lol! the problem is the faults that come upi'm pretty sure are not the issue they come up because the engine runs on, they aren't the actual cause.

Post the faults. Was it just a generic OBDII scanner or did they use Star/DAS/Xentry?
