Hi all, I have an Astra J 1.6 petrol, 27,000 miles, great car, had it 1 month now, after driving the car when it is switched off it makes a ticking noise, (it starts off really fast and gradually get slow) it lasts around 5 mins, its coming from underneath the car, i think its the exhaust/catalytic converter cooling? Is this normal?? I have searched online and a few people say that its quite normal. Its just annoying more than anything else, did call the dealer but they wanted £75 just to listen to it!!!! Anyone else's do this?? Thanks in advance.

Hi
I also have the 1.6 petrol and you can hear the exhaust pipe contracting once the engine has been turned off. I don't make a point of listening to it though, but quite normal on lots of cars I think

It will be the flex pipe under the engine you need to get under it and listen if it comes from there then its normal but don't touch it ha ha

I know on the 1.3,1.7 & 2.0CDTI models you get high pitched pulsing tone when you turn off and remove the key which comes from the fuse box area in the engine bay.

Haha I think it's just on a shut down / start up cycle if you have the bonnet open once the tone stops go and open the driver door and it will start again.

I was the same. When I first heard it I was sat there like !

On a separate note, does anybody get a loud ticking noise, almost like a relay tick coming from the glovebox area when they start theirs?

Not that I've noticed but will listen when I leave work today and see!

I've noticed when I first start car in a morning and it's warming up I can hear a belt moving, not sure if normal but had it replaced when I got car as I thought it was odd. Still does it though!
