Benji Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 Hello guys... I drive a 2-year old Atos... From the day I got my car, I notice there's a ticking sound after I shutdown the car's engine... Does anyone know what's the cause? Thanks... best rgds, Benji ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord 1st Gear October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 Think it's quite normal... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_t Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 should be normal, bro. I get that sound too. Think it's the piston heads and cam shaft winding down. Unless I am wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 Isn't that the sound of exhaust components cooling off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Author Share October 13, 2004 Wah Bros, So many theories... But I think I'll buy the idea that the exhaust components are cooling off... best rgds, Benji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 Its the cat converter contracting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Share October 13, 2004 Actually on some cars you can even hear the ticking even when the car is operational. Just wind down your window and listen carefully. Nothing wrong if your car doesn't explode........you can be relieved knowing you're not sitting within an explosive device....

Benji Neutral Newbie October 13, 2004 Author Share October 13, 2004 Bro, u very funny! Of course I'm not sitting on a bomb lah!!! No Al-Kaeda's around Singapore... I hope... On a serious note, I'll wind down my window later on my way home and try to pick up that sound... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. Dun you know everytime you start engine, you are causing thousands of explosions per second ??? Sitting in a metal cage, with 50 litres (or so) of highly flammable liquid, running on a device whose primary objective is to ignite the liquid in a pre-determined sequence, so as to cause continuous and powerful explosions, driving metals to move at high speeds and with high power.. And you still think it is safe ?? haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raycsk Neutral Newbie October 14, 2004 Share October 14, 2004 Hello guys...I drive a 2-year old Atos... From the day I got my car, I notice there's a ticking sound after I shutdown the car's engine... Does anyone know what's the cause? Thanks... best rgds, Benji Its due to the thermal contraction of metals in your engine bay. Nothin to be worried about. Many makes and models have this too.
