Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Funny Gurgling noises!!
The water noise will be due to a lack of coolant in the heater pipes. You need to bleed the coolant system. Look in the knowledge base for instructions.
Keep an eye on things as you may have a leak in the'heater hose from hell' or elsewhere.

Hmm, I have that noise too when I drive it hard. Don't notice anything wrong with the temps on the dash also there's a slight burning smell from the engine + that water noise.

I've had a look at bleeding the coolant system but it looks a nightmare to do? Do you know how to do it and how much coolant i need to put it, or is it better taking it somewhere to get it done.

its quite simple mate.
Theres no set amount of how much you need. you will need as much as the system is empty.
Its basically having your bleeding pipes from the rad and heater matrix higher than your header cap. make sure your car is level. put your heaters on hot, open both valves at the front and fill up the header until the level of water in the bleed pipes at the front is the same as the height of the header cap.
After warming the engine up a few times repeat the process until theres no air in the system.

Gurgling AFTER you switch off the engine is normal on a hard driven MR2 Turbo...
If you've got it whilst the engine is running- best check the level in the overflow resevoir Kerbside of the engine bay - at the back.
Pull out the tube and it should be wet at least half way up.

Yeap, mine only gurgles if I really thrash it.
Not on normal drives.
