Does the Santana make noise after turning off the engine?

Santana makes noise after turning off the engine. The noise after Santana turns off the engine is an abnormal sound from the exhaust pipe after shutdown, because the exhaust pipe will make noise when it expands with heat and contracts with cold, which is normal and can be assured. If this sound is more obvious and there is a shaking phenomenon as follows: 1. Check whether the fixing and combining screws of the exhaust pipe are loose or leaking. Secondly, it is recommended to go to a regular gas station to add relatively pure gasoline, because the impurity content of gasoline will also cause this situation. If possible, go to a professional repair shop for a circuit maintenance. 2. Usually, the temperature of the exhaust pipe can reach more than 200 degrees when the car is idling at a cold start, and the temperature will be higher when the car is under high load or when the mixed gas is burning, so the exhaust pipe will also expand with heat and contract with cold, making abnormal noises.
Over the years of driving my Santana, I've noticed that there are often sounds after turning off the engine, mainly the cooling fan still running. This is normal because the engine is still hot after stopping, and the fan needs to keep blowing air to dissipate heat and prevent component damage. For example, my older Santana model always does this, and I'm used to it. However, if the sound becomes too loud or starts making a rattling noise, you should be cautious—it might indicate bearing wear or a damaged fan. In such cases, it's best to check the cooling system to ensure there are no blockages or loose parts. By the way, it's also important to monitor the battery condition. Sometimes, a weak battery can cause the fan to stop spinning too quickly, increasing the risk of overheating. In short, most of the time, it's not a big issue, just maintain the car well.
