Guys , I have a swift diesel and I just came to know a few days ago that one should idle the car before switching of the engine . How true is this and how important is it ???

The guys at Maruti didn't tell me this and I hadn't been doing it ... Ive driven almost 10k kms . I hope its not caused any damage and is there any other way of cooling the turbo ??

Cheers

PS - If this has been discussed .. pls post the link for me !
