My mates Audi/Passat box thing has solar panels in the sunroof that power some A/C to keep the car cool in the summer while you are out.
Is it something similar or have your cars become sentient?

I think someone should make this a Sticky as it gets asked numerous times across all the forums.
This is the afterblow function that activates about 30-40 minutes after the engine is turned off and the car locked. It's just the interior blower fan venting the system to remove any moisture it detects which could lead to the growth of mildew and mould if not removed.

P2 models have this feature.
It just seems to be one of those recurring queries across all the different forum boards. Don't know if people are using the search function or not.
