Swampy442 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Its air in your heater matrix, as for whats caused it, dunno. Maybe a good bleed will help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Check your coolant levels in the rad and also if there's anything in the expansion tank. Sounds like air in the system but you might have a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Air in the system, usually caused by a faulty rad cap, or hosing from the rad top to the overflow tank, or low water level in the overflow tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraGZaerotop Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 i have had these noises very slight, in the morning when i leave for work at 5am, i checked my coolent level and at first the expansion bottle was empty and the rad was down about a pint, i have not had car long at the time so didnt know if previous owner just didint top up properly or what, anyway this was weeks ago, when car was cols i filled rad up and topped up expasion bottle and its been perfect ever since, its had full service since as well and didint touch the coolent in the service as it didint need it changed, ive dun like 600miles since topped up coolent and has not dropped at all, perfect, so what im saying is the gurgiling id just ignore because its nothing if you ask me, plus my heaters work perfect.
