Hi everybody, i'm french (sorry for my english) and i don't find a solution on french forum or other support.
I would like know if somebody have an idea on my problem.
When i shut down my XC40 i have a metallic noise, same a fan touch something. sorry it's difficult for me to explain this noise.
I do a video, and you can hear this noise at 3sec to 6sec "glong glong"

somebody have an idea?
thanks for your return

Yep I hear it in my girl's car, but it is not as loud as yours. But, I didn't open the hood. I sounds more like a rubbing noise on her car for a couple seconds after car is shutdown.

 

[Acti93]

Exactly, just 2 or 3 seconds after shutdown.
rubbing noise same a fan on metallic part.

Do you have the automatic parking brake enabled? If so, it's probably the sound of the electric parking brake being applied.

 

[Acti93]

No it's not a sound of electric parking brake. I don't use the parking brake, only the button "P".
in the video you can hear the "Cling Cling Cling" on 2 or 3 second.

My 2019 XC 40 R-Design T5-AWD makes numerous noises after shut down. Even after 5 seconds I can hear some clicking from the body. I attributed it to some shutdown sequence which may include engaging locks, internal "parking" of a mechanical device, etc. I got used to it.

 

[SciAnima]

No I hear a grinding noise like something rubbing and it is not usual.

 

[swcxc40]

It's likely an electrically operated air dam of some kind. Often, cars will have plastic dams / flaps within the front grill that will open/close depending upon speed in order to either a) assist in warming the engine or b) increase fuel economy.

 

[Acti93]

I don't speak about the electric flap that you can hear on video. I speak about the "metallic Clang, Glang" at the end of the video. same a fan who touch something

Hi,
Did you get to fix it? I'm really curious what was it. I don't believe it's normal...
Thanks

 

[swcxc40]

Oh, it sort of sounds like the intake valve. I don't know if it's abnormal or normal.

 

[yoyek]

Intake valve making a metallic sound similar to metallic fan touching something (possibly metallic as well)? I don't think so to be honest..

 

[AliciaDane]

just sounds like some loose change fell in the engine how you got it solved

My XC40 Recharge T5 plug-in hybrid makes a similar noise, but not just when turning off. It does it every few hours, for 2-20 minutes, including when turned off, locked, not charging, and no key is around.
They replaced the electric airco compressor, but that didn’t make any difference. Who knows what causes this?

i have exactly the same sound. it starts after I switch off the engine and can continue between 1 to 15 minutes. I have the impression it is shorter when I lock the car and longer when I keep the car unlocked. my car was manufactured in Belgium last year. XC40 hybrid T5.

will check with dealer at some time, so far no other issues.

I noticed same sound and started looking what it is. I know about which noise are you talking, this one from 3 to 6 sec on your vid, like the engine would be stopping not be stopped already. I would assume it comes from the torque converter in transmission but I'm not sure.

Have you solved this?

 

[Punssi]

Hello, I have similar noise at my xc90 d5. Dis you get this fixed or diagnose of what causes it?

 

[pajonline]

In my case (xc40 T5 hybrid), the sound is still there. Dealer checked error logs twice and found no anomaly. Dealer did do a new software update. I’ll let you all know how that goes. The weather in the Netherlands is not good enough (rain) to spend too much time outside next to my car to check every time.

I also found this on the forum here: High pitch/buzz type sound after ignition is off

I have scratching noise like trapped bird or rodent , dealer checked and said all's ok but I'm not convinced as it's definitely friction noise
