ok ive a strange gurggle noise comming from behind the dash whats wrong

temp normal never goes over half
coolant level fine
oil level fine
fan comes on more often than normal but temp hand never goes above half

 

Are yo using any water/coolant ?, is it a sound more like rushing water ?, if so I notice this on me dads mondy(mk1) but nothing necessarily wrong, just a characteristic if all else right.

I get this on a fiesta, never had a problem and the engine warms normally etc..

 

I have had similar noises it was the A/C system. When I have turned it off, then the sound stopped. Took it to A/C specialist then for like 40 GBP, A/C cleaning, refill etc. and it stopped.

1 more thing. I have had a head gasket blown in my off-topic car.
The temp NEVER went above half. Thermostat was new, everything seemed normal, except a few drops of coolant from the overflow bottle. The end of the story was that later it started to "burble" the water by pushing the air into the water chamber (not sucking it or whatever). Solution was head gasket repair...

Hope these help...

Was gona say is it not air con or heater related ?

 

You can get this noise WITHOUT air con, as my dads does it(used to be mine), and the AC is disconnected and empty.

Then I would stick to my story #2..... OR.....

Maybe some air trapped inside the engine cooling system. (That would be lucky). It does not hurt to change the coolant and might as well do a cooling system cleaning (i usually do once in every 2 years on my cars) as a last hope for resolving the issue. If not, back story #2...

Hope this helps...
