[SOLVED] Clicking noise after switching off engine

[osman]

Anyone know what the annoying clicking is that comes from behind the passenger side dash after switching off engine ? Sounds a bit like a clock ticking inside a tin can
it goes on for about 5-10 minutes before finally fading away ... just would like to know what it is ..

Does this happen every time you switch off the engine or only occasionally..?

 

[osman]

Every time... well I think so anyway it’s a very quiet noise so sometimes you don’t notice it ...

Never listened that closely to my van but my Audi’s I’ve had clicked from all the climate control servos for a few minutes. Could be that?

Sounds likely

Maybe have a drive with no blower on and no air con on and see if you can hear the same noise when you switch off the engine....

I can't say i've noticed it on mine, but like spaghetti says not listened for it....

Yep I think that’s it .. i just drove with no blower on and the noise is not there when stopped . Makes sense now ..
