Noise after I stop the car
Hi there,
I have a Protege 5 and this is the first time I actually have a car so bear with me if this is a very dumb question. When I stop my car I have noticed lately that I hear a ticking noise I am not sure this is something happening recently .....or it has been there for ever. Any clarification on this would be welcome ..thanks in advance. ind89 |
It could be something as simple as a rock in the tread of the tire. I notice with my pro after coming to a stop and taking off again for the first few m.p.h. I can hear a similar noise. With my pro, the brake pad is still slightly resting against the rotor, but it isn't hurting anything, so I just deal with the minor noise. I am really picky, and tune in to any noises, or rattles and check them immediately. You might think about having the braking system checked as a precaution. Most shops will do this for little to no cost.

I probabaly did not phrase my question correctly, what I meant by "stopping the car" is actually turning off the engine (i.e. when I park my car) .

Its the engine cooling and the metal inside shrinking back. It's mostly you're exhaust system i believe, i know my car started ticking muck more loudly when I installed my RB exhaust.
But I digress. Its completely normal and all cars do it so no wories |
Yup, mine does the same thing, although it's more noticable when I'm inside the garage, then it sounds really loud!
Nothing to be concerned about. |
Yah, even the mom's van does that "tink"ing noise after its turned off and cooling down....No worries!

Thxs a lot for your replies .... got a bit worried with my protege making those noises!!!!
