Knocking when i turn the engine off

[Jimble]

Is there some beeps off the throttle body after it?
Does the car stop as you turn it off or judder?
Do you have the aircon turned on?
You have checked the oil level

I've only ever heard the knocking from inside the car as it never does it when i'm trying to hear it, i have heard the beeps but no knocking if that makes sense??


The engine turns off as normal with no judder and the knocking comes after, like something is still spinning for a few seconds.


Air con is not on when the car is turned off.


Just been to check and the oil level is normal.


It's only done it twice, once after a 200 mile drive to Devon in May and the other night after driving 6 miles from the cinema (Man of Steel is rubbish btw!) otherwise it's completely normal???

Egr valve?

TSI does not have an EGR valve it's controlled with valve timing.

Not sure what it could be without hearing it to pin it down further.
I was thinking aircon condenser disengagement.
Can you hear the auxiliary water pump humming after turn off

If it was just as you stop or driving hard I would have said the exhaust bracked at the front of the engine.

Does it make a similar noise reversing backwards on a hill? As subframe boltsbare known to work loose
