everyone
what is the little noise that comes from the car when you turn it off after driving for a little while ?
u know, the little click click noise, i know it is from the engine starting to cool down but wat i am curious about is where exactly is it coming from and what is causing it? ( kinda sad that i don't know what it is, i know)
thanks for the info, u learn something new everyday

 

It is coming from you CAT.
tink.....tink.....tink........

 

 

Expansion and contraction of metal from your CAT and/or header. TINK....TINK...CANK...TINK

 

The magical elves that run your car are putting their tools down till the car needs to start up again. j/k I am almost sure it is the cat, and is normal for all cars.

 

So it's not just me that sees the gnomes?

 

i park my car and the gnomes come running out of my garden, climb up under the hood and start pounding away with their little gnome hammers. TINK....TINK...CANK...TINK

just remember: feed the gnomes, don't feed the gremlins after midnight.

 

Those damn gremlins keep taking the gnomes' food though. I think I've come up with the solution.

 

Heat shield around the cat

 

I doubt a feline would have the strength to make our cars run. Plus they lack an opposable thumb.
