Wonder if you guys experienced some cracking sound coming from the back of the car behind the back wheels after switching off the engine?

enen

 

wat kind of cracking sound ?.....back of the car? or is it from the engine bay ?

reg..

virus

 

ya.. somehwhere rite behind the back car wheels, maybe some where below the boot...
i was a little surprised tat it comes from the back of the car and not the front where the engine is...

got some "pleak" "pleak" sound... take a while to stop...

i noticed a few times le.. tat day when for servicing, the guy say he cant hear coz heavy rain...

 

Most likely the sound of your exhaust cracking upon cooling down.

 

your car is new rite?.....must hear the sound to determind wats is it .....
could be the brake pads being loose.....etc...
is yours an auto or manual ??

 

i agree with you... always is the exhaust

 

But I didn't expect RX8 to have such high EGT. This sound only happen in 1 of my ride, and it was boosting 1.5bar, and the throws flame.

 

mine is auto.

ok later i go check it out.... u got a point there....
tks

 

en en, i have the same, sounds like the exhaust cracking right? like plastic breaking apart type of sound right? when you go outside the car near the exhaust area then can hear. I think its normal. hahaha.. think so lar, i used to be so paranoid with noises. but always only make me stress, then i send my car to my mechanic almost everyday. so now i just ignore the noises and wait for any problem to come then only repair la. just enjoy the car better then getting stressed over it the whole time. Im so paranoid that i keep turning off radio, a/c just to have a really clear environment to hear noises. sighz, so stressful.

 

Its the exhaust...I have that sound after turning off the engine as well....guess its normal...

 

the sound is present on my ride too
guess it is normal

 

Its normal to have tick tick or crackling sounds from the exhaust or hot areas.

 

hahaha... smart ***...

confirm gurantee and chop is from the exhaust. i check it out immediately after i switch of the engine. a little stupid...

have been stressing over it for weeks... cant believe it...

another thing to reconfirm.... the leaking of aircon water oso happens during this time... just to double confirm tat it is normal too...

 

That's not leaking of aircon water...... Water appears due to condensations of hot air from engine met with cold air from aircon compressor there.... It's kinda normal......

 

hi lennon,

so this will happen everytime i switch off the engine? will it affect the water level in the engine compartment?

 

no problem
water condensation on the surface is coming from the atmosphere and not from the water inside ....think of the water droplets on a cup of cold water ....the water droplets do not come from the water in the cup....it the water vapors condensing on the cup surface due to the lower temperature as compared to the atmospheric temp.

same theory applies
