• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

i just bought a new 2013 RS. When i shut it off it has a low volume, high pitch sound. it sounds like it is coming from the engine area or under the dash. Does anyone have an idea of what the sound is coming from?
 
Something to do with the throttle body and totally normal. Will likely go on for 30 minutes or so. I'm sure someone will chime in with the technicals and then reason.

Not to worry..!!

It's a shut down process, much like windows shutting down, involving the throttle body for one. Does take some time.. :thumbup:
 
Loud Noise at shut down.

According to my dealer, that is pressure escaping from the fuel system to prevent gas build-up and back-fire at next start-up.

Not quite accurate, but it is the right idea. It is the sound made when the ECM holds the throttle butterflies closed after shutoff, to prevent fuel saturation in the intake manifold. That fuel saturation, combined with the repeated cold start routine, often flooded the 2010 RTs on hot restarts.
