I've recently noticed that sometimes when turning off my car that the throttle valve shutdown beep carries on for a few minutes. On my old Freelancer the car beeped for about a minute or so. I've searched for posts on here and found one post but it doesn't really answer my question. Does anyone know if the very long beep is a problem or just part of the car shutting down? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

What is a few minutes ?

Fair chance if never changed both body and battery are coming to end of their serviceable life.

Not sure how true but as they say a man in pub told me that throttle body is now modified with metal gearing not nylon. So now wondering if the one I just fitted on Monday that was cheap on the net is a clear out. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

The beep lasts 10-15 minutes. I had a throttle valve go on my old Freelander, engine is shuttle down ok, no noise from the valve of the gears shearing etc. Car is due a service in October so I'll ask at the garage. Just Didn't know if it was a quirk of the later models. My car is 4 years old so maybe the battery is due a change but the car is starting fine. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Ten minutes is a life time, just ensure you double lock to see if it makes any difference. Keep us posted  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I double lock all the time. I'll see what the garage says. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

~ 20 to 30 sec with mine.

BEEP!! I've never heard mine beep on shutdown
the only noise I had when the Throttle body failed was more a metallic grinding/screeching,
Should I be worried?

Beep is probably the wrong word, it's like a quiet high pitch tone. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Screech ....................... about between 30 seconds to one minute. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

30-40 secs high pitch whine, then a click, then silence

same as Deano64, but I'd describe the "click" as a FLAPPPP

I thought it was an EGR valve thing but will stand corrected.
