Everytime you hear it you just can't help but worry !
Sounds as though it is normal procedure though. Thanx for all the replies.

 

After switching off the ignition, is it normal for a scoob engine to make kind of 'tinkling' noises (hard to explain exactly the kind of noise), as if it is extremely warm and is cooling down very rapidly ?
This happens after a slow short drive, as well as after a good thrashing.

"They all do that Sir"

Certainly does on mine and just about every other Scoob I've seen.

Mine does it too!!

Its the exhaust and heat shields cooling down. There is even a bit about this in the owners handbook.

 

It is just the heat shields cooling down!
