Hi can anyone tell me is it normal that when you turn off your engine you hear a hiss from the engine like when undoing a fizzy drink? really worrieing me now...

Could it be the sound of air being sucked through the intake pipe that you cant really hear when the engines running?

Pop the bonnet and get someone to turn the engine off, see if you can figure out where the sound is coming from. If it's from the air intake, yes it's perfectly normal

If you have a pod filter then DEFINATELY you air intake

I've got the same 'problem', got an racing air filter and when I turn the engine off I do hear a 'hissing' noise.

nothing to be worried about.

Get some alloy pipe and a cone filter under the bonnet then you can really hear it

Ye we all get it, normal. pointless comment but helps to back everyone up, right?

Cosmos, I wouldnt say it was a pointless comment that ashwin made. He was worried about a noise from under the bonnet so asked for help

I think cosmos was implying his post was pointless, not ashwins
