Anyone else with a new Focus noticed this ? Everytime I pull up on my driveway at home, switch the engine off and get out of the car there is a very quiet series of beeps coming from somewhere at the front of the car. Perhaps 5 or 6 beeps in total and I cannot seem to locate where it's coming from !
Only tend to hear it when I stop here because it a sheltered spot in a quiet cul-de-sac.
Just wondered what it may be, doesn't bother me just intrigued. Maybe it's only relevant to members with keyless entry ?

this will be the different things shutting down on the engine, for example the egg valve which makes a noise and also the fuel pump will shut down aswell

Hi, doesn't happen with my car which has keyless entry, all I get is the sound of relays clicking which is normal...

Nope its deffo a series of beeps but very faint. Doesn't sound anything like a relay or fuel pump noise. [quote name='fordpartsman' timestamp='1326594190' post='161323']

Yea my focus does this for a few seconds so does my diesel van, it's just certain things in the engine shutting down, nothing to worry about.

Not worried about it, it's not my car lol (company car) just never heard it on a car before so wondered what it might be and where it's coming from. Sounds like from somewhere under the bonnet at the drivers side ?

Hi, it is rather strange though, seeing as mine doesn't make a noise...

I've noticed it on mine but like you say, only when at home (probably as it's quieter than at work etc). I don't have keyless entry and just put it down to various systems doing their checks and shutting down. Never had it/noticed it on other cars I've owned though.

Unlike Cuke's car then, perhaps its particular to the diesel ?
