supradriver Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 every now and again i get this bubbeling sound coming from my top rad house????? it sounds like a kettle has boiled. has any one come across this before? all coolent and oil are ok and car runs fine, just get the noise. i have thought that could it be that i am turning the car off to quickly instead of letting the turbos spool down? thanks for any ideas you may have:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Airlock in the system? Or faulty thermostat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Whatever it is, get it looked at right away. A £20 thermostat, could end up costing you 50 times more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradriver Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 just read it. my heaters are hot so no problem there. its just a bubbleing noise in my top rad pipe. ow i forgot once it pissed coolent out of the tank but did not over heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 After a decent run, reach under and have a feel of the bottom rad pipe. New thermostats are £21 delivered with the rubber gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I replaced my rad cap and my problem was gone as i was getting a similar noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 2 points - firstly the temp gauge on the Supra is extremely slow to react, so you may well could have overheated (especially if your coolant overflowed) I'd say you're looking at a fooked heater matrix, rad or thermostat. For your sake I hope it's the latter! Have you checked the passenger footwell for damp? Might be an idea to take out the 'stat and see if that helps, and also give your rad a thorough check over to see what condition it's in.

Jamesy W Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 which is bad lol hot? or cold? Cold could suggest your stat is needing replaced. Which in terms of £££'s is the best case scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will do mate, it's the bottom one you are interested in though. Can be a bit of a bugger to reach, unless you get on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradriver Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 i dont mined getting on the floor:)lol i will have a feel later. thanks for all the help. and i hope its just a rad cap i need and nothing els. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well have a check on the hose, then order the cap, and the stat if necessary. Try not to drive it till it's mended though mate. I gave mine one to many trips, then on the way to having the stat fitted on Saturday I blew my head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
