Title: Glugging noise
Post by: dalgleish00 on 19 April 2007, 08:12

Hi All - hope you can help. When I park up my car, if I sit in it I can here a slight glugging noise for quite a while which sounds like its coming from the back somewhere. ANy ideas what it is and if its a problem? It sounds like the fuel sloshing in the tank but that would not go on for so long. Car has just been serviced so I am presuming it is nothing problematic - hopefully not as heading for two weeks driving round Europe on Monday!! Cheers for any help.  :smiley:

The coolant pump contineus after the car stops if it is hot. Could be that? Are you sure it's from the rear? Try listening outside of the car??

Don't worry - they all do this, including mine. Yes, it does come from the back, and I believe it's related to the pressure equalising in the fuel tank, although I stand to be corrected.

Glugging sounds about right :grin: Hardly ever off the petrol forecourts these days :laugh:
