Teck teck sound

[Guest Kueitutu]

After parking my car, I always hear this "teck teck" sound under my car (near the back) when Im out of the car. It will continue for quite awhile.... Is this normal?????

Hi bro kueitutu . You like to eat kueitutu or sells kueitutu ? Hahaha..... :bounce: I like to eat kueitutu . As for that "tecking" sound , someone quoted me that it's the exhaust parts cooling down and contracting . My ride is a W212 too and it sound like that everytime I stop my engine . So no worries . Cheers !:becky:

[Guest Cklasse]

If it sounds like metal crackling, it's certainly the exhaust system contracting. Normal for thin metal to make some noise during cooling down. It happens to jet engines too.

[Guest blackmercs]

Yap from exhaust coz yr ride is "HOT"!!

[Guest io5885]

I got less 'teck teck' sound when i'm on Shell fuel last time.

Now on Esso fuel, everytime reach home at nite,

my ride will sing lullaby to me, wishing me sweet dreamz... :music:

jhun bro!!! you know why all ur 4 cars got that sound ma?? cause the way you(and me) drive !!!! hahaha. too agressive .. mine also always have on all my rides too.. its because too hot liao! hahahaha! :becky:

[Guest Roland106]

Hi,

the cause of it the tick tick sound is because the water from the external condensation of the AC cooling coil is dropping on the front mid exhaust. if you look underneath your car after a good drive with strong AC, you will notice a small pool of water (off course in dry weather), before this water hits the ground, it hits the exhaust which is fuming hot causing the metal to contract quickly in that section as compared to the rest of the pipe. Thus, the difference in contraction rates results in tension with in the metal only to to release in form of a tick tick sound.
