Maybe share what I know. After engine shutoff, the water pump for turbo module continues to function. You can hear 'zzzz' sound near the turbo module, and it can be traced along the turbo coolant hose just a few inches away. Together with this, I could hear 'bloop... bloop...' sound, like coolant boiling or moving along the hoses, into the radiator.
Do you observe something similar?

I think the tak tak sound, probably comes from the exhaust/metal cooling down.
Mine also have this sound, but I'm not too worried, cause some cars do have this sound.
Also, mine also, sometimes the fan doesn't run after shutting down the first time, but the water pump still does run (by hearing the water sound).
Sometimes I just turn it into ON position for few seconds, then turn off ignition ; you don't need to start the engine.
Yes, it will run after that, but sometimes it doesn't. Depends.
Again I'm not to worried, cause like alexei says, probably haven't hit the 90C threshold yet.
It's not compulsory to try run the fan for 2nd time, but just me, I prefer to have the fan running, for assurance feeling, so that the radiator coolant temperature is cooler, so that the turbo gets cooled down properly. (Sometimes I even open my bonnet, in my car porch)
Last time (when I first got the car), I idle the engine for 1 minute, but after that I read certain forum, it's not necessary for water-cooled turbo.
I don't really know about the technical parts, what i know is the car is not behave normal like it used to..because I'm travelling with the same road, same speed and at the same time of the day. Just a month ago the fans acting weird. Now my exora stuck at the SC for two days already. Luckily got a triton.
Actually i'm not that fussy with all the issues but because of the recall programme regarding the copper nipple might as well made a complaints while you are at it.
For new owners, get ready for all these issues...really it is a good mpv. Just lowered a bit ur expectation can live happily ever after dy..when i sent my exora got this uncle really fussy, "Why the door is not smooth ha?" The door knob really hard to open ha?" haha really made my day
