    Default To settle a silly arguement

    Last night it was 6 degrees in Melbourne, a perfect night to give the car some gas through the quiet suburban side streets of Hawthorn.

    After taking some seriously good apexes through the street we stopped to have a ciggie and there was a slight sound of a liquid that was bubbling from the engine bay. I said to him "Can you hear the radiator fluid bubbling?"

    Basically, he didn't think it was the radiator fluid or coolant but didn't actually have any other idea what it might be.

    I've heard this noise before and always thought it was the coolant, it doesn't cause any issues.

    Any ideas guys?

    Sounds like coolant bubbling back to the overflow. I'd replace the radiator cap

    Default Bubbling sound: could be..

    It sounds like vapour bubbles accumulating at the highest point in the coolant circuit perhaps. Is it the same sound a "fonzanoon" makes?

    heyy dont drag fully sic subwoofers into this...
    haha
    not a good idea mate...out the road I've got no problems...even though it is illegal.
    But around public roads, people can get hurt mate...and we have enough trouble driving holdens,
    being labeled hoons as it is.

    As suggested, likely coolant if you were driving it hard - caps a recheap and easy to replace.

    JC doesn't condone dangerous driving. Save it for the track.

    Question answered so no need for further discussion.
