RedM Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sometimes when I switch the engine off I hear a noise like the fuel pump priming but louder or the sound the front spoiler makes when it's retracting. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Not the aerial. I hardly use the radio/cd thing. It literally is the last sound I hear. Turn the ignition to OFF, engine dies, then this whirring noise which lasts about half a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your worrying about nothing mate half a second is'nt anything to worry about its prob the last of the EG leaving the engine, or pressure escaping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 You have a none stock air filter on it, it's the noise of the reed valve in the turbine control system fluttering, and I claim my £5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 It also sounds like the noise made by old 35mm cameras when they've just rewound the film and it kind of whirrs, kind of squeals as it pulls tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Anyone else? It's the sound of your paranoia growing - like the screams that rhubarb makes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
