[Mk2] [NA] Only in the wet - Gurgling Noise (Not coolent to my knowledge)

Post by toyotatoyota »

Hi All,
Recently bought a 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe. Working through the many problems. This one only ever occures in the wet (raining).

It sounds the same as if you put your head next to a drain pipe and heard the gurgling water noise. It sounds like its coming from the rear vents (if you looked on the outside the black vents just behind the little windows). It is so loud even the stereo struggles to mask it. I only get the faintest whistling air noise in the dry. But this noise only comes on in the rain (we are in Britain, so this is a bit of a problem;).

Coolent level is fine, engine comes upto temp and stays steady around 1/2on gauge. Radiator and engine bay fans all work fine.

Factory sunroof/T Bar? Check your drain hoses from the rear of the roof aperture. Airline and good blast should clear them..
