A strange thing happened to me yesterday.
I switched the engine off and the car started shaking all over coming from underneath. I opened the bonnet and the fan was still running. It's the weirdest thing.
Does anybody have any ideas about what it might be?

My old car did that, then turned off after a few mins, i just assumed that its still running to cool the car down as it may have been at a high temperature

Thanks for replying.
That's exactly what I thought as it did turn off after a couple of minutes. The temp gauge was fine though as I hadn't been driving it that long also the shaking and noise was very strange.

The fan shouldn't cause the car to shake, the motors are usually fairly smooth and just cause a very minor vibration. Sounds like there could be something more serious if the car was shaking.
Was it shaking before, as you or after you turned the ignition off?
Was it a violent shake or just or just like a jolt?

It started shaking as I turned the ignition off. I won't say it was a violent shake, just a all over rumble and strange noises, almost like a scraping.

Did you have the aircon on?
I know mine produces weird noises and almost "sucks" at my engine power
