Gargle Sound

[Guest j_mchattie]

Under acceleration, there is a gargle from the engine bay. The only way to describe it is as a pipe under-water blowing air, trying to sound like tappets!

 

Its not the tappets, I have had 2 sets and the sound is the same (they are hydraulic anyway). Its only on acceleration and gets louder the more gas I put on.

 

Sounds like air being released under water - any ideas?

Can you replicate it with the car stationary, bonnet up and rev the engine under no load?

[Guest vr6galaxy]

Water pump? coolant being rushed round under high speed? pump cavitation? air in the heater matrix being pumped round while under load? check your coolant level?

[Guest j_mchattie]

The pump is new, coolent level is fine - new head gasket, level hasn't moved for months.

 

I cannot replicate the sound at a standstill - only happens during acceleration/load.

 

Sorry to be so non-descriptive, but i can't replicate it at the road side.

 

Its a definite gargle sound, there is no other way to describe it.

 

Sorry! :lol:

Hi

 

Just had a similar problem on the Wife's TDi 2000 Galaxy - noise only while accelerating / under load. No obvious leaks / not affecting performance at all but noisier when you put your foot down.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

thanks
