Loud "clang" noise from engine bay area after car is turned off for 5-10 min
audio link (camera phone sat on windshiekd wiper area passenger side, occured 4min after engine off) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TJ7MYpf1zo
Havent noticed this noise before til the past few weeks. I still hear the normal low volume "pings" from the exhaust metal cooling but this is noticeably louder. It can happen once or more usually after sitting for 5+ min. If it makes the noise more than once, it is spaced out usually a minute or more before the previous one.
Driving for even 7-8 min at top speeds of 45mph can cause this to occur upon car being parked with engine off.
I havent noticed it until I did the following:
- Radiator replacement, identical to OEM design but not toyota genuine.
- drained and replaced power steering fluid. Fluid was drained by removing and replacing the black hose which connects to the metal pipe in passenger side wheel well.
Have driven the car long distance a few times in the past months, no issues except for water in dash noise due to needing to be air bled.
Any ideas?
