L-Y-K · 04-07-2005, 14:01

when you switch the ignition off, i always get a really cool sound of something simular to a mini jet engin powering down ...i dunno wat it is but its funky! ...is it the power steering?

The turbo? Though I'd be worried if i could hear mine spinning down. Or perhaps its just your ears re-adjusting after they've been subject to the clattering of that 1.9TD lump ?
