Posted 31/01/08 09:41 PM Share Posted 31/01/08 09:41 PM It's prolly the AC pipes or the thermo syphon effect in the turbo or the turbo spinning still. I saw one continue spinning for nearly 30 seconds after shut down over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry about it. Mine does it and I find it quite hard to hear. You can hear it more when the car is cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
