Mine does this when cold, imo it's just the water flushing around the system, as ive had a compression done before when i thought the gasket might have gone. | |

not always a head gasket. mine did this for about 12 months and i had no problem. More than likely an airlock, when i drained the system and re filled, it was more noticable for about a week and now it doesn't do it | |

mine has this gurgling sound, and the oil filler cap has a bit of sludge round it, looks like oil with a bit of condensation. So im gonna get the gasket replaced. Any idea how much fitting will be for this? As i dont want to use my car till its fixed. | |

From what ive seen on this website over the last year or so, everyone who has this funny sound always ends up with a blown head gasket,people say air locks etc but ive never heard of anyone fixing it due to an airlock. If anyone gets this sound, go to a garage and get a compression test asap. | |

I'd just like to say thanks to Ainsley... I believe now that it is the head gasket as this morning I had cold air from the fans which were on hot, and my engine over heated! .... I got to work and popped the bonnet and had no coolant!!... I only filled it up to the top a week ago!! Anyway cheers mate...i'm having it sorted as its still under warrenty......any more info on it ...when you had it done did it help the performance / feel of the car etc...? coz my car feels crap at the moment! Ta for the help everyone! :thumbs: | |

On the 16v engines there is a bleed screw on the thermostat housing,use this to bleed the sytem up. | |

When i flushed the coolant system it wasn't that bad, bit of sludge and grit but not much though.... I reckon if i flush it with a high powered hose pipe it might get that airlock out.....Has anyone had this before??? anyone??!!! its driving me nuts!!! | |

Plug 4 is fine, its been doing it for abut 4 months now so i know its not the head gasket or it would have gone by now....there is no evidence that it is the head gasket only a stupid water sound....bit of white smoke out of the exhaust.....thats about it but the bubbling / gurgling sound goes really really loud sometimes...cheers guys ;) | |
