This is not really a "problem", just a query:
While driving (parked at lights or cruising etc) my UZZ32 makes this "chuff" noise every 30 seconds or so. The noise comes from somewhere under/behind the instrument cluster.
It kind of sounds like the "whisk" sound of a door opening in Star Trek and Star Wars movies!. Bizarre, I know but can anyone explain what this is?
Also, when I turn the car off, there is a slow "pshhhhh" noise from the engine bay followed by a brief "PSHH!". This noise sounds everytime I turn the motor off whether or not I have had the aircon on or not.
Are either noises related to the active suspension?

do you have a pod type air filter? i get the "psshh" noice when i shutdown the car, the last of the air escaping out the pod. Especially audible when its quiet parking in garage. Dunno about the rest!

Dan, does it still do it for a few seconds after switching off. If yes then it probably is, if no then it still could be. I found that the ABS/TRC is easier to hear in the cabin than in the engine bay.
