What is this noise??
When i turn off the car, and when the enigne has stoped complete. I have a sound that keeps goin for about 3 sec. Its a ticking sound. Its not from the enigne, becuase the engine has stoped.
What could that be?

Could it be the fan spinning down? There might be something stuck through the radiator hitting the fan blade.

It's the sound of hot metal contracting as it cools. It's normal.
You hear it more on aluminum componented cars than on all-iron; different expansion/contraction rates. Aluminum cools down quicker.
You usually hear it more on cars where the goofy mechanic (coff, coff) has removed the dirty, sagging under-hood insulation...Like I do on all my cars... :D
