Gurgling noise coming from my car.
I have this weird gurgling noise that happens when I partially depress the clutch and press the gas a little bit. It almost sounds like water is in my transmission or something.
Anyone know what this sound might be?
No performance problems along with it...Just kinda scary.
It happens mostly when the engine is cold.

do a search on "burping" your radiator.
once you let the coolant level fall below the level of your upper reservoir, you must add more coolant while "burping it".
for old bmws, it meant squeezing the air out of the hoses while adding coolant.

jkwon, korean? anyways i am lol
well i had the same problem, daredevil repsonded to my post about that, i went to the dealership mod friendly, and they just replaced the radiator. The gurlging noise is due to leaky radiator. If your not sure look at the top of your rad. and see if there is dried coolant on the top look underneath the front air scoop thingy also. pm if u have any other questions

air in the radiator take your cap off and pump the radiator hose (big black one coming from the top of the radiator ... to burp it... then refill
edgar,
i dont think you need another radiator but if you have air in your engine you might fry a piston!!

hey jkwon, i just my car kixed for that same reason, my happy friends at South Coast Subaru told me it was the muffler. If you have a stock muffler look at the two tips. there is two small little holes. Some how they get pushed out and when that happens and u rev the exhaust whistles through those little holes. But it sounds like it is from the engine bay which is what i thought. So they just pushed it back in for me. And low and behold it went away. Hope that helps.
