I recently noticed a strange noise on my 99 Impreza Turbo when the car is cooling down.
The clikcing sound one can hear is normal, but every 10 seconds I hear like a "clonggggggg" as if you would hit the brake discs with a spoon or something. I mention the brake discs as the sound does come from under the car, from the rear somewhere. I hear it best when is stand on either side of the car. What could this be? Normal or could there be something letting go? |
could be your heat shield on your cat, they creek abit when cooling
|
Yes, that could be it....how would a creeking sound like?
Sorry, English is not my first language..... |
Mine tends to sound a deeper tinnier note than the usual exhaust cooling note which is a bit pingish,sounds more like a small hammer on a small gong, hope you make sense of my description :D
|
Yup, thats's exactly how it sounds, like a small hammer on a gong...
So, it's only the cat heatshield, nothing to worry about...or could it mean that the heatshield is about to crack? |
Now where did i put that crystal ball ;)
