Guest Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Why does my car make noises about 15-30 minutes after I've switched the engine off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What kind of noises? Mine makes like a creaking sound. I think it's the ac unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Is it an occasional ticking/cracking sound? If so it's probably just the metal cooling down/contracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Is it an occasional ticking/cracking sound? If so it's probably just the metal cooling down/contracting. X 2....although it can go on for a while as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Engine block and heatshields contracting as they cool down. Perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Forgot to say that the noise sounds like its coming from the centre of the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQbbe Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Can you perhaps record a video of the sound ? (Just use a smartphone or whatever you have available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzell Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi, Mine does exactly the same after about 10 mins. The noises are coming from the climate control unit (even when you are not using it). The unit resets itself. When you turn the ignition back on you can hear the unit moving the flaps etc to the settings you have previously used. Quite normal so i have been told.
