I have a 1997 Toyota Celica GT.
Everytime I turn off my car after it has been driven while it's warm. It always has clicking or dripping noise after I turn it off. I noticed it does the same thing with my fathers 97 camry le(same engine as mine). Is this normal? Or is there something else? -------------------- |

To a minor degree all internal combustion engined cars click after they are shut down. The exhaust system, which was at 500°-1,000° starts to cool and as metal cool its contracts. So the ding and click noises you hear are usually the metal exhaust relieving tension.

Now that you said that. That's true. Thanks. -------------------- |
