You need to have someone actually look under the hood to see what is running. If it's a steady hum, it's typically a motor. The likely suspect is the radiator fan motor, but something is turning it on.

If it's a VR6, the electric after run water pump is staying on.

Thanks, Exovcds. Is that to reduce the chance of warping a cylinder head?

Yes, sorry for the late reply. The 1.8T engines will also have one.
