BUBBLING/BURBLING NOISE WHEN I START MY CAR??
 

HI ALL, WHEN I START MY CAR I CAN HEAR THE WATER BUBBLING AROUND THE ENGINE?? IVE EMPTIED THE COOLANT TWICE NOW AND REFILLED (NOT SPECIFICALLY TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM ALBEIT BUT WHILE FITTING NEW TURBO/HOSES ETC) BUT IT STILL DOES IT,BEEN TOLD ITS NOT REALLY AN ISSUE AS THE CAR STILL RUNS SPOT ON,TEMPS ARE ALL FINE AND FAN KICKS IN WHEN STANDING STILL FOR A LONG TIME ETC)
BUT IT REALLY ANNOYS ME!! ANY IDEAS WHAT IT COULD BE OR HOW TO RESOLVE THIS??

2004 BLOBEYE TUNED WRX BTW.

Yep, Small air lock in the system, Start the car from cold and remove the header tank cap, Turn your heaters onto full hot and top up slowly as and when needed, giving the top hose a squeeze now and again, More than likely just not enough water running through the heater matrix if it sounds like its coming from the glove box :thumb:

Oh and turn your caps lock off :D

caps lock off ;-) haha
i tried starting it with the header cap off and didnt make a difference? but didnt squeeze top hose.it does sound like its from matrix,its quite loud.but will give it another go tomorrow thanks!

Mine does this. Searched on here about it a little while ago and it seems like its a common problem. Not harmful just annoying from what I found :thumb:

Thats the sound of a soooobaaaaruuuu :') lmao

Oh shame I only read the title lol :D

your cars got wind!!

My Legacy did this all the 18months I owned it. Not one problem.

Do a search for "burping". There is a method to get rid of the air, which is in your cooling system. It worked for me!

going outside now to give it a go and see what happens!

just got into car,turnt heaters onto full hot,took off the header tank cap and then started the car from cold.heard the burbling noise but went away quicker than normal,then let it run for a few mins giving the top hose a few squeezes,
turnt off and put cap back on,heaters off and started 5/6 times and no noise at all :) hopefully will be okay now,will see when i start it next time from cold later on tonight

:thumb: If it does it again just repeat the process... you'll get there in the end and don't forget to top it up if it needs it :D

Just started again and drove and all seems okay still, cheers for the info mate!

I get the same on my blob. Will try the above tomorrow! Cheers!!

or the heater matrix is fooked and it will return ;) just saying...
