Gurgling Noises (yes, really) From Dash

[Type-S]

Hi, have been experiencing this one for a while - all HVAC works fine but occasionally I get a gurgling noise like water with air bubbles in rushing through a pipe. It's most noticeable at around 19deg on the climate control. I am guessing there's air in the coolant but could it be refrigerant instead??

Anyone else had this?

shouldn't be air in the coolant have you check your coolant level?

Sounds like you have air the coolant system. Have you done a coolant flsuh lately?

Might be worth bleeding the system first to ensure that there are no air locks

I can confirm that noise is air in the the cooling system. Was like that on my dads Bmw 5 series. However it was a very easy fix, just topped it up! noise went away when I squeezed the rad pipe, concluded not enough flowing. So try filling it up more first if not it will be air.

Been a while since I checked the level, but was fine last time. Due some fresh coolant so will renew and bleed the system.

Cheers for all the speedy replies!
