Best Answer

Check the coolant level in your reservoir tank when the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below MIN add coolant up to the MAX level, Some older vehicles may not have a reservoir tank, so check the level in the Radiator. BUT only when cold. Remove the Radiator Cap and if necessary fill to the desired level. If the coolant level is low, it may also be necessary to check the anti freeze content, purchase an anti freeze tester and follow the instructions. Once again, the engine should be cold to avoid scalding.

Why is your car making a gurgelling noise?

2 Possibilities come to mind immediately: 1) Low coolant and air in the cooling system. As coolant is circulated through the heater core you may hear this noise you describe 2) Perhaps vehicle is "pinging" due to Spark timing advanced too far or the fuel you are using has too low an octane rating for the vehicle. try another grade of fuel. Perhaps a 91 octane if you are using an 89 octane rated fuel.
