Thread: What is this noise?

Mine has done it from day one, but again, not nearly as loud and scratchy sounding.

I think the clonk noise at the 40 sec mark is ABS pump related as it occurs shortly after the car is restarted. Mine makes a similiar sound to that at start up.

Gee that shutdown noise is strange!! I like the EGR self cleaning theory.

Can you blank out the EGR easily in a Puna?

ok so listened today...ours does do it but very very quietly, you can hear it next to the bonnet but you cant hear it from inside the car at all, which is probably why I haven't heard it until now

not easily no...well not at this point in time but people are working on it...

blanking it off makes the MIL light illuminate.. but partially blanking it off seems to work better but still shows up some codes I believe. I haven't personally done it but plenty have in the UK if you read Defender2

Thanks for that feedback Lou - I suspect from the other replies I've had that is how it's supposed to be. I'm glad you've confirmed it.

I'm thinking the EGR is a little worse for wear. Probably won't get looked at until July though when I next get near a dealers for the annual anti-corrosion inspection.

If I depress the clutch pedal while turning the vehicle off there are no sounds what so ever.Give it a try.

Will see if that does anything.

thats the clutch springs if you have no sound with the clutch in, its fearly commen on the pumas, you will allso get the rattle on shut down,
