there is a "pop" sound under my JCW after I shut down the engine. Who know what's going on?? it's kinda scary.

exhuast popping?
bypass valve decompressing?
backfiring?
What kind of "popping", and exactly where is it coming from?

1. have you checked for weasles?
2. have you been driving it 'round and 'round the mullberry bush??

 

I drive the car very carefully. And I am still in my break-in period. it doesn't hve the pop sound that often. the single "pop" sound usually appear couple minutes after I shut down the car. I don't really know what's going on and the dealer is 2hrs+ away from me . and wut is weasles?

thnx a lot guys

 

Could be the catalytic converter cooling off, mine sometimes makes a kind of pinging popping sound as it cools.

 

I agree with the theory that this is one of those engine/exhaust cooling noises. I noticed that my MCS seemed to make a lot of noise after I shut it off when I first bought it, and now I'm used to it.

Just another weird MINI quirk, I guess.

Pop Goes The Weasel

All around the mulberry bush, --(I thought it was round and round the mb bush)
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought twas all in fun.
Pop goes the weasel!

Penny for a spool of thread. -- (boy, I forgot there were 3 more stanzas)
Penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop goes the weasel!

The painter needs a ladder and brush.
The artist needs an easel.
The dancer needs a fiddler's two.
Pop goes the weasel!

I've no time to wait and sigh.
I've no time to wheedle.
Kiss me quick. I'm off, good bye
Pop goes the weasel!

(p.s. a country station in York, PA, just got bought out and switched to a
pop format... to kick it off, they played "Pop Goes The Weasel" continuously
for over 24 hours......arrghhhh!!!)
