Body panel gaps - how big should they be?

[tadziak]

I don't want to trash the forum with another thread, can anyone tell me what is that funny sound like something ticking in the back of the car, when I shut my door (from the outside)? It sounds like something in the trunk is doing 'tick tick tick' a few seconds after I close the door. Is it alarm related or something is locking/unlocking?

I get a sound of air trying to escape when I shut the doors and it appears to come from the rear of the car, could that be it? Not a ticking as such.

This I also hear, funny sound, like when you open a can of air I checked it again - this 'tick tick tick' is not always when you close the door, seems random - sometimes when you open them, also when opening the car with the key/remote at the begining, but also not when I try locking it and unlocking again. Weird.

Does it have vacuum central locking?

Not just something cooling down? Brakes? Are they glowing? Are you a rally driver?

No, no - my car hasn't been moved in a few days, it's just standing in the garage, so no way anything is cooling down or anything like that. It's definitely something to to with locking/closing the car - I suspected even key sensor (the car must know whether it's inside or not).

So you could be an American rally driver. I see. This is lost in translation, I apologise.

Do you have Advanced Key?

Not that I know what Advanced key is or does, you could say yes and it won't help me in any way. Just a thought.
