I have a new C180 Avantgarde Kompressor and there is a noise coming from the
roof mounted controls (where the courtesy light switches are) this noise is
constant even with the keys out of the ignition!!!. it sounds like a fan
running!
Anybody know what this might be?

It is the fan for the interior temperature sensor.

should this fan continue to run after the key is took out of the ignition?
mine does!

To tell you the truth, I don't know. That being said, I would expect it
to turn off when the ignition was turned off, but it may run for a while
in expectation of the REST function being used.

The fan is a fairly common "wear" item. Luckily, it is a fairly easy DIY
repair if you want to save yourself some money. Do some Googling or look on
www.club202.com and you will find threads on how to replace the fan.
