1 Answers
The reasons for the engine making noise after parking the car are: 1. Thermal expansion and contraction of the metal components inside the three-way catalytic converter; 2. Thermal expansion and contraction at the front end of the exhaust pipe and the flexible joint; 3. Severe wear of the water pump blade bearings due to prolonged operation, erosion by coolant, and scale buildup. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. Press the brake to slow down until the car stops; 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral); 3. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine; 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power; 5. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Park); 6. Release the foot brake; 7. Turn the key back, turn off the power, and remove the key.
