This has been a VW/Audi feature for years, but rarely occurs on my Polo - and then only after a long thrash in hot weather or stop/start in heavy traffic.

It can be a d bit disconcerting as you walk away from you locked car to hear it suddenly start roaring...

This is as said the vw/Audi thing it works in place of what is essentially a turbo timer. I do worry that it won't turn off and will drain the battery but like most vw features never seen it as a problem.

Happened to mine a fair few times over the summer, mostly after a B-Road thrash with sport mode enabled :D
