hard shutdown
Anyone else notice when they shut off the car a loud clank comes from the engine ?
Maybe clank isn't a good word to describe it, but there is a very noticeable noise..

I think I know the sound you're referring to.
Does the engine make an immediate clank after shut off and then a funny metallic "whirring" sound?
If this is the noise, then mine's been doing it from day one and I have always thought it was normal.

it's one of the s-dais "doors" checking it's position. it wants to be closed the next time you start the car. it cycles to make sure it is. i have a more technical description somewhere that i will post when i get a chance.
bottom line- normal noise. just one of those things the car tests after you shut it off.
