That Cooling Fan Problem, again!

I have a 1.8T and firstly I will state that I have followed the advice on here of trying to find the answer to this, so here we go.

The high speed fan comes on pretty soon after starting, and most times when I stop and switch off the engine, that high speed fan runs on for about thirty seconds , though often it will start again, once I've switched off th ignition, and even been operating when I've returned to the car.

I have tried the sequence of running on idle, set the Econ and then demist and the low speed fan operates, which I believe is normal.

Having had the bumper off to try to find the lighting wiring fault I took the opportunity to check and found that I have a silver, original resistor. I cannot see where there is any other relay around the fan.

Polite suggestions are requested, the rude ones we'll get to later.
