SW VR6 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Evening allJust got back from a 2 hour trip in the VR. Turned the engine off to hear what I can only describe as a bubbly gurgling noise behind the dash - almost like the kind of noise you hear when a radiator in your house needs bleeding. Also sounded like something else was running - maybe the aux water pump?Popped the bonnet and all seemed well - could hear the noise towards the back of the engine bay. No temp warning lights, leaks, spillages or anything. Footwells were dry.The only thing that was different about today was that I took her out for a long run on the motorway in the strong midday sunshine, so she's got hotter and done a lot more mileage than she would normally do in a day.Any ideas? Didn't like the noise!Cheers.... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 that sounds like your auxilery water pump mate, quite normal for it to run after giving it abit of a longish drive.pete Link to post Share on other sites
SW VR6 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 So I guess the gurgling noise was just due to an air lock or something?? Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Aux water pump mate, no question about it. I'd be worried if I didn't hear it gurgling and the motor buzzing! Link to post Share on other sites
SW VR6 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks for the replies. Never heard that gurgling in all the 3 years I've had the car, so thought I'd ask around. Guess it was just a hot day/long trip thing! Cheers.... Link to post Share on other sites
