I remeber when I picked up my yaris there was this sticker on the glove box..saying something about after the car is turned off it tests the gas tank for leaks or something and you would hear a noise..
I will see if I can find the sticker when I get home from work |

Ive had that noise before on exhaust manifold shrouds and electric cooling fans continuing to run after the engine is off or if the temp is ok the fan slowing down.

Usually it is the exhaust cooling down. It is normal.

and i think the gas tank thing only happens 5hrs after it has been sitting there. and ya its either the oil dripping into the pan or cooling metal. I hear a weird noise when I'm in reverse, like a heatshield is loose and it only happens in reverse. Anyone else hear this.

Don't worry about it. I have heard everything from bulldozers to motorcycles do it.

I have heard that kind of noise coming out from other cars (under similar situations) too. I believe there is no problem.

I get a "rattling" sound when I put my car in reverse. Don't have to be moving, but it also makes the sound when I'm backing up...

Re the last two posts by Dawn Eshelman and rstb88.
I have heard the same rattling noise too. I mentioned it to the service adviser the last time I took my car to the dealership for oil change. I guess the problem did not occur there and so nothing was done. Sometimes, I still hear the same noise when I engage the reverse gear whilst stepping on the brake. |
