noise after engine shut off

KWZ · 10-26-2012, 12:01 PM

I usually notice a crappy sort of rattling noise when I shut off my 370 and I have the windows rolled down. I purchased the car brand new this summer and I've noticed it right from the start. Is this normal (seems like it) ... and if so where is the sound coming from?

I found this thread relating to this issue ....

Engine rattle upon shutoff.

Try shutting off your car with the clutch disengaged (clutch pedal pushed in) and see if it goes away. If it does, it's probably just the flywheel/clutch thingy and it's probably not a big deal.

My car makes the noise too.

Normal. Like jcosta said, push the clutch in if it bothers you.
